I'm not very good at judging shades of colours (what bloke is?), but isn't this a better match for the riband colours?

The Irish United Nations Veterans Association Service Medal riband (reversed) with the Sierra Leone Independance Medal 1961 (plated copy) slung underneath (?)

ACSM - Accumulated Campaign Service Medal. 1080 days deployed Operational service.

Wrong colour ribbon then

Is your monitor broke?

Either that or my eyes are, theres no purple - well I can't see it perhaps its time for an eye test or a new monitor

Specsavers for you me lad.

Send me all the 'green' notes in your wallet and I'll give you a fiver each for them

Just had the missus check it and your all correct, its purple, but from where I'm sat its blue (I sh*t you not) but upon moving it's purple, Phillips monitor +my eyes = shite.

Thank feck for that I thought I'd just gone colour blind!

Apologies

Not with Queen Elizabeth on the front !

Not that I am arguing (honest) but it looks to me like the green is part of the ACSM and not the end medal.

You're right , the green you can see is the ACSM ribbon, although unless you can come up with another medal, it is most likely green underneath.

Nope I’m with you, I just thought my eyes where going funny :D

Edit to say other than it could be the ribbon of the Mayors and provost medal 1897 :D :D :D

Are you inferring that worldmedals have got another one wrong, then?

This is theirs:

That’s the badger however completely the wrong shape.

Now that’s what I call quality street :D

Thanks for your help. I am glad that my knowledge was not that far off, except that logic got in the way and spoiled it. I think you are right about the incorrect medal: the group includes the OSM Sierra Leone, so it would not be a surprise that he received the medal for the BMATT. I assume it is an LI group because of the double Bosnia and Sierra Leone combination.

Yes, Sierra Leone Independence Medal. Apparently given to selected members of IMATT. I believe that Lt Gen Jon Riley (late RWF) was in command at the time and hr recommended other deserving souls for receipt of said gong. I understand that the rationale for being allowed to wear it was that permission was granted at the time of independence. Piccies attached - hopefully.
