The 67th seem to have been in Bangalore, India at that time (1876-1881 and then as 2nd Hants until 1887). The officers dress is unusual and not something that I have seen before. It appears as if it might have been made up locally and constructed of cotton drill in a semi-Norfolk (hunting style) jacket. They have adopted regimental buttons as rudimentary collar badges. The regiment were very proud of their Royal Tiger badge and after amalgamation with the 37th the nickname of the new regiment was for many years, The Tigers. The 67th fought in Afghanistan in 1878.
