Thanks Andy.
Is it possible these were worn on 'blues' (remains of dark thread on them)?

Default guards shoulder titles.

Shoulder arcs were never worn on Blues by the Guards, only on SD and Battledress.

Thanks John.
Can you describe what SD means for the Guards?
I have to tell you my main interest is on paras.
These shoulder titles were found in a grouping which belonged to an ex-para who allegedly transferred to the Guards after WW2.

He could of transferred the other way or not at all,there was the Guards Parachute Battalion, later reduced to the Guards Independent Parachute Company and now I think Guards Parachute Platoon attached to 3 Para.
