These were replacement British manufactured felt hats ,and sometimes worn with the plain puggaree or with a standard New Zealand Mounted rifles puggaree over the top of the plain one .

Thanks for the reply and photo of hat , but I am still of the opinion that the hat on ebay is a Militia or very early WW2 hat not the same as you have shown as the vents,edge stitching and button are different .
