5 Para Bn originally wore the first pattern AAC badge with the Hunting Stewart tartan backing on a Tam-O-Shanter and then on a maroon beret. The AAC cap badge was then replaced by the Parachute Regiment cap badge after 1943.
The Territorial Army 15 PARA (SV) wore a Parachute Regiment cap badge (in anodised aluminium ‘Staybrite’ as soon as that form was adopted after WWII) with a Hunting Stewart tartan backing on their maroon berets 1947-93, with 15 (Scottish) Company of 4 PARA(V) wearing the backing for a period after that.
