The Wiltshire Yeomanry wore this beret as well.... in the early 1990s. I think it was the B Squadron of the Wessex Yeomanry. Our "A" (PWORWY) Squadron in the Royal Yeomanry had the proper Royal Blue.
I think the Wessex Yeo still wear it? In my day it was the "Cow Pat" with the Cherry patch and cap badge...... now I think its the "Cow Pat" with a black patch and all the Squadrons wear it with their own Cap badges on regimental backing cloth.
The Wessex Yeo had a Royal Hussars Colonel..... that changed the headdress to that of his old regiment. That's what I remember being told when we were on Exercise with them anyway.
