Hello Rob,
I don't think that I have ever seen any photographic evidence that they were ever worn by any member of the BEF, in fact the vast majority of photographs of the members of the BEF that I have seen, suggest that the slip on worsted type titles were not being worn by it's members.
Clearly, more research is needed, but, going back to you're original post, I'd certainly be very surprised to see any Guardsman wearing them.
Regards Frank

Maybe they were the ones mentioned and not the regular coloured black on green version?
