RGJ collars with unusual clips

4 Attachment(s)

Gents, on further reviewing & cataloguing my collection, I found these RGJ collars, with pin and clasp - however the clasp is a green plastic. The label appears to be 1980's looking.

Anyone seen or know anything about these unusual fastenings?

Aha! Thanks Mike. That's why we don't see many of them then.
Interesting that the MOD clearly went with them for a while.
