I am mistaken after researching it would be the Brown-Leaf or Grey-Leaf.
The first camouflage I bought from that time frame is the same pattern on the gun. I always called it original Realtree but reading this timeline in the link below clarifies that isn't the Original pattern. The Original didn't have the added leaves.

Definitely not Greenleaf. Realtree brown leaf looks to be. Just like MossyOak the first Realtree pattern had no leaves. MO and Realtree added the leaves on there second patterns. I'll have to look to find it but I have a couple old  Turkey Hunter magazines with the mossburg and Realtree pattern advertisements.
I like the pattern shown here as much or more than the Greenleaf, wish someone would bring it back.

That finish is the Realtree brown leaf. It was Realtree's second pattern introduced. It was out in the early 90's about the same time as the Mossy Oak green leaf. My cousin always wore the RT and I was in the MO. Like mentioned earlier, both patterns had leaves added whereas the two originals were straight bark style camos. The original Realtree was more of a lighter, grey based pattern. It put you in mind of a white oak bark. Good day fellas, shoot 'em in the snood!!!
