No - regulation issue and not worn all the time, i.e. not worn in combat in WW2 - a clue perhaps?

Yes, officers' and other ranks' differed at (at least in earlier times) in both size and quality - although the one in photo 3 looks different only because it's old and battered - it would've originally looked tidy like the other two

How this item changed over time, plus who wore it and when, is almost a PhD study in itself

Hm if those were awarded "post-2000" it is unlikely they were worn in "WW2 combat"?

edit ah ok, so this goes back to WW2 days but is still awarded today?

Best re-read, Catfish - they weren't awarded and their wearing pre-dates WW2 by a VERY long time. This regiment wore these in combat in WWI but not WWII, according to my cursory researches, and although its wearing should have stopped when they were amalgamated I found at least one source online who says that some soldiers continue to wear it - although I can't understand how on earth they could now that their regiment has ceased to exist
