being that my sporran is where I keep my flask, I don't think hiding it would do me any good! with my luck, I would lose my sporran without taking it off!
otherwise, that is a good looking sporran. How about doing something with the head of the button so someone can attach a metalic emblem of their particular branch of service? Would look really cool with a Marine's eagle on it, although I would let the purchaser decide what to affix to it.

Hey Hamish,
That's the ONE! I see you have the matching kilt! It looks great!
The Sporran is ONLY MADE in 1 camo. Yes, it is a British Camo, as the sporran (and matching kilt) is made in the UK (Glasgow to be precise). The wholesaler only has 1 pattern of camo and that's all he really wants, so I would only have access to the 1 pattern. No other pattern or no other options (no button with your branch of service... although a good idea).
That being said, would you wear this sporran with a solid kilt or with a non-matching camo or (shield your eyes, Hamish) with a tartan? Again... how much would you pay for such a sporran?
Thanks to Colin for posting the pic.

What about apologies to the rest of us for having to read that.... 
KIDDING
ANYWAY back to the topic at hand: camo sporrans...
to be honest I wouldnt go for it. All my non-tartan kilts have pockets in one form or another (all are styled similar to the UK Original - so far) and so to add a sporran woudl be redundant and ungainly.
A camo sporran on a camo kilt - if matching looks a bit too... 'too' (hard to put in words) IMHO. If its in a different camo pattern or a tartan the clash woudl be a bit too much for me... 
Sorry to piddle in the collective porridge but wanted to throw in my 2 cents there...
ITS A KILT, G** D*** IT!
