The jacket is of the warrant officer pattern as mentioned, with those lower pockets. Strange no rank is visible on the lower sleeves. Would also expect to see medal ribbons for such a rank.
The Ox & Bucks certainly had unique collar insignia of the cord with regimental button.
I have touched on this before, but these old studio photos can be notoriously unreliable with regard to regulation wear. It is not at all impossible that the jacket is a borrowed prop for photo op purposes. Judging from the poor fit, I think this is likely the case.
