PM Soldier had a small display set up at the Army-Air Force game. They had several examples of the current IBA, new cut-away style, and aviation kit. The reps there said that all troops deploying to AFG are getting the new cut-away vest issued as of now, but it'll be a year or so before that fielding plan hits for Iraq. You could always extend your tour to see if the new vests are up to snuff.
