The only bit I remember about NATO part numbers is that the 99 meant British.

Phillip, just a wee thought which may be helpful.
Could the badge also be considered as Irish/Ulster Rifles, North Irish Brigade, Royal Irish Rangers or Royal Irish Regiment? All of these units had/have buglers with green uniforms and black facings.

It's quite possible it's a Nato stock number Philip. I wouldn't recognise one now though after so many years off the plot.

I think it would be rifle green though, not piper green.
