don't polywarm make mvp (goretex) stuff for british military? like bivvi's and jackets/trousers? bivi bag usually is cllaed sleeping bag cover mvp, but you say it's not a bivvy, not sure what else it could be, hooped bivi would be zipped also.

Its a bivvy bag matey! just a more recent one with the wider mouth, the only difference between that and the normal one is the extra piece of material sewn in to the front for a wider access. I have exactly the same one.
its the cover then.
as you can see, its just a bag with a hood and drawstring top
100% a british army issue standard bivi.
Cracking catch! Any damage? Pin holes or the like? The Dutch ones have zips I think? Or the one modified by endies?
in daylight, stand up inside it with head at the feet end, i know this sounds daft, but you can inspect it much more thoroughly than either filling it with water, which is a massive task, putting it in the bath, or trying to run a torch all round it on the inside. this way any small wholes will be obvious, you will also have a giggle at how mad you must look. i found loads of pin size holes in mine using this method that i couldn't see from an outward inspection.
goretex repair kit, some people just use duct tape. i patched it with pieces of old pvc waterproof jacket.
Hi
If they are very small holes try the 3 layer seam tape [iron on with cool..wool setting]
