I believe coloured bands and other distintctive badges were worn on the hat during the Malayan Emergency.

I can't help with that blue one, but I'll along with the above comment. I have a green pugaree I am told is worn by 3 Royal Australia Regt. The story as I got it was the regimental tailor ran out of the right material in Malaya so made hat bands out of the jungle green uniform as then worn, and 3 RAR retained the colour green as a mark of distinction.
