(possibly ww2) fs cap identification/opinions please
 

Could anyone please shed some light into this (to me) unusually looking fs cap?
it can be argued it's an old film prop or perhaps a fantasy piece, I really do not know where to place this.

cheers,
s.

The hat looks quite well made but lacks the ability ( as far as I can see ) for the sides to be folded down over the ears and for buttons at the front.

I wonder if it is a British hat, perhaps Irish or continental ?

P.B.
