It is the uniform of the Durham Light Infantry, but has been hand colored incorrectly as the facings were dark green. This often happened with old photos wherein the actual color was not known, or the color artist did not bother with accuracy. Even the collar badges are incorrectly colored gilt, whereas they should be silver.
