There were some changes to the Marine uniform, mainly the addition of a pocket to the right shirt front. I believe they could still be used. Dragon makes a set for Iwo Jima and Tarawa in addition to the Masterbox set. I have both and the pocket is the only issue I have been able to clearly see. The Masterbox Japanese infantry should be fine, although most of the fighting they did was from hiding. They were ordered to remain concealed and make the fight costly, and prohibited from spending their lives in useless charges.
