Default WWII Transvaal Scottish Tunic with lanyard

Hi All,

I picked up this WWII Transvaal Scottish Tunic with all insignia; 1st SA Division patch, WWII shoulder titles with red tabs, TS collars and a red, dark green, light green lanyard..... Murray of Atholl colours.
I haven't seen a lanyard like this before. Can anyone confirm it is a TS version?

thanks Iain

Just to clarify, red to the centre signifies the Army to the left Royal blue the facing colour of the 42nd, to the right Green the facing colour of the 73rd.
