Default Rifle Brigade in Greece?

I recently acquired this 13th Division combination from Normandie 13 which nobody could identify. The lower badge must be a regimental flash and although the front is faded the back is clearly black and green, colours usually associated with the Rifle Brigade.

In the absence of a 13th Division Orbat does anyone have a wartime history of the regiment which might mention its presence with the Division in Greece circa 1945/46? There may be a reference in the annual Rifle Brigade Chronicle if anyone has the appropriate years.

The most likely candidates are the regiment's 2nd and 7th Bns which both served in Italy and Austria.

Can anyone shed some light please?

Jon
