Definitely looks very different to the RAF one shown , as the link I posted is from 1943 it may simply be a case of "make do and mend" and they are reusing/refashioning the old white cap bands ?
Found an earlier photo from 1940 which appears to show the white band worn between the folds of the side cap.
