I located my source for the Seaforth Highlanders wearing government tartan - Brian Davis mentions this on p. 109 of his book, as well as showing a photograph. So one battalion of the Seaforths in 51st Div wore Goverment Tartan while the other wore Mackenzie.

There is an interesting photo on the same page (108) of the photo of a pipe major of 5th Seaforths. It shows an officer of the Gordons wearing the 51st Highland Division flash, and regimental tartan flash (not to mention a helmet decal depicting the cap badge), and what appears to be a two-colour arm of service stripe.
