    Not sure if this is a wah or what, but aren't they from different guards regiments, hence different button arrangements?

    Granted, I know nothing about this stuff. However I do have a copy of "TAQ" which on the front has HM The Queen presenting medals to the RMLY..who appear to have 2 yellow stripes on the trousers as opposed to one in the picture? It might be a different form of dress = different stripes? But that seems a tad silly to me..

    RMLY do but DLOY do not, so yo are right but wrong, the blues in this case with red tunic are old DLOY stock.
    Dry books of tactics are beneath the notice of a man of genius, and it is a known fact that every British officer is inspired with a perfect knowledge of his duty, the moment he gets his commission; and if it were not, it would be sufficiently acquired in conversaziones at the main-guard or the grand sutler's.

    The Gren looks OK but the rest are a bag of shit with the exception of the SGman who is just far too short.

    Worrying.
