They talk about putting in a concrete floor in the OR, yet in "Radar's Report" (Season 2, episode 3) the floor in the OR is of concrete. (e.g. when Trapper gets knocked down, and when the bottle of blood gets knocked over).
It is quite possible that the camp had to move since the last time the OR floor was shown (the "M" in MASH stands for "Mobile," after all). If so, it's not unreasonable that the old OR had a concrete floor while this one had a wooden floor.

Klinger wears a big earring. In the next shot the ear ring is gone. Then, a short time later the earring is back.
Italian flag was mistaken on the arm of De Simone's uniform; stripes should be vertical. Instead he had Hungarian flag with horizontal stripes.
Actually the patch would be upside down for a Hungarian flag. The nearest match would be the Iranian civil flag (which lacks the central lion/sun emblem of the state flag at the time).
Anyway, he has the word 'ITALY' above it, so it's just 90 degrees out.
Hawkeye says that Klinger's magic elixir is one part cement, four parts sand, six parts gravel. Klinger is upset and corrects him. In the six parts gravel and corrects him that he told to use four parts sand and three parts gravel. This is also incorrect. The right mixture is one part cement, two parts sand and three parts gravel. For binding to hard concrete the amount of water is important so the chemical reaction in the cement can start.
When BJ runs his fingers through the cement mix it's approximately 2 centimetres which is way too thin for a floor it should be at least an inch if not more,
A concrete floor would take at least 4 days to cure and over a week to fully harden too long to wait if casualties come in from the fighting,
Throughout the episode, Loretta Swit's fingernails can be seen to be over 1/2 in long. No nurse, especially a head nurse, would have fingernails that long.
The main characters lay down the cement themselves despite the fact they are officers and senior medical personnel like surgeons, who could have been liable to work-related injuries, such as on the hands that could have impaired their primary medical duties. Instead, the camp's numerous enlisted personnel should have been assigned to that kind of physical labor.
After Winchester walked in the wet concrete BJ states that he is throwing in the trowel as a play on words but he throws Winchester a float not a trowel,
