Collars were generally not worn by the Infantry and RAC mid-late war when the regts converted. The cavalry and yeomanry did have an affection for collars in BD and photos show then in use in 1944/5.
There is no hard and fast rule here as it was regtl practice and you see photos from the time with some Tprs with collars and some without.
