Interesting, it makes the OBLI bugle very clear and also the silver on green chevrons. How do we know though that these are not photos of the LI Bde? IIRC correctly from the massed bands of the Light Div, the dress and accoutrements were very similar.
I always felt that the LI regiments were effectively sold out once they were obliged to wear green. The formation of the Rifles merely became the final nail in their coffin. It was the equivalent of all fusilier regiments being merged into a single Grenadier regiment of many battalions.
