If so, what's the leather cap on the tongue like? Does it cover the whole thing, the way the leather covers the Gore-Tex on ICBs or is it just hanging a little bit off the top and the rest is like a normal jungle boots tongue (ie, canvas only, uncovered by leather)?
Yes, those are the ones. The tongue is canvas up to the top of it, where there is a piece of leather to keep the laces and knots from dinging the shin so badly.

Here is what a well-worn one looks like (My God, I am reduced to shooting pics of my boots. The horror....)
