This is so easy that I feel bad that it is not more of a suitable challenge. I pick up this postcard a couple weekends back partly because it was interesting error and for the forum photo oddities.

The soldier on the far left has his bayonet too far forward on his belt?

If it is the Hamilton unit then it should be 91st Highlanders. The 93rd was for the Cumberland Highlanders.

The chap front left with his bayonet scabbard visible appears to be the only one wearing collar badges and has only three tassels on his sporran while all the rest have six.

Is it appropriate to wear the bayonet when not carrying arms?

First of all their marching is atrocious and the individual in the left marching file is missing a button.
