Gentlemen,

Would I be wrong in assessing this to be pure BS? Sorry, no pic of the back available...

No real knowledge of these things, but is it a post war version for RM KD prior to issue of stone coloured tropical dress?

Edit - roughly similar version in stone, bearing the same vocab. number is shown here:

What dress are these worn on please?
Are they on a stone coloured backing?
I see them as khaki in the images.
Are they worn on MTP?

I think, just from the photograph, you would certainly be highly likely to be wrong with that assessment.

I thought the wings worn on stone had a stone backing, these appear khaki to me, although they're the same vocab no. as the stone coloured ones in the link I posted.
Is it just my eyes getting muddy or are they khaki?
