Mystery unit
I am sure he is pukker, , people dressed up i.e. mocked up always look odd in some give away manner. The uniform could be grey but I think it is drab like many of the British Yeomanry regiments wore post Boer War, with light coloured facings as you say, a similar colour scheme to the Northamptonshire Yeomanry for example who wore drab with pale blue facings, it’s just not the sort of uniform one expects from an engineer unit. I am fairly certain he isn’t British but if he is from the Dominions then he doesn’t immediately appear to my eye to be Canadian, Australian or New Zealand. Thanks for your interest
