Well Chaps - given this concensus it is just as well I have not had to do a police photofit (although I was once in an ID parade - long story - but got reimbursement for standing in line).
Interesting theory re polar bear.
The private image I have is the wife of a chap whose parent reg was Duke of Wellington's (West Riding). He was No.6 Cdo - see image below. The Cdo himself is wearing Green beret - (post October 1942)
You can see a sort of suspension to the animal, so as suggested by High Wood it may be possible to wear tucked inside a pocket.
Parties from No.6 Cdo had participated in Operation Kitbag (Floro, Norway) in Dec 1941/Jan 1942.
Perhaps a pattern is emerging re an 'Arctic' connection
