I think it's simpler.
1. Queen's South Africa Medal
2. King's South Africa Medal
3. Army Long Service & Good Conduct.
The KSA could not be awarded to soldiers without the QSA; and the vagiaries of orthochromatic film play tricks with light and dark tones on period medal ribbons, which is to say that I don't think it is the Tibet Medal. I plump for the LS&GC (which didn't get white edges until 1918) on balance of his being a regular.
