do you have access to Osprey Elite Series no. 14, The British Army in the 1980's? Pages 59 & 60 have details on lanyards.
Some input from that publication,
Green & Black - 6 & 7 Gurkhas (WOs, Staff Sgts, Sgts & Cpls)
Black-Green -Scarlet 4 Greenjackets (NCOs)
Amber & Black (perhaps your gold & black) - D Coy. 1 Yorkshire (sgts & above)
there are many units listed as various shades of blue, Dark Blue, Blue no's 2, 3, 7, 10 & 14 (I do not know my shades of blue well enough to diferentiate between them).
If you do not have the publication and would like a copy of the section on lanyards PM me your contact details and I will oblige.
