The Sussex Yeomanry was one of several Yeomanry regiment who re-roled to RA post WW1.
Many initially wore RA badges and then converted back to the old Yeomanry designs later on: this increased mid WW2 so by the end of the war most original badges were back in use.

With the 'doubling up of the TA in 1937-38 there were 2 regts:

98 Field Regiment R.A. (Surrey & Sussex Yeomanry)
144 Field Regiment R.A. (Surrey & Sussex Yeomanry)

The photo is post war judging by the medal ribbons which by that time collars on BD was back in vogue. As both 98 and 144 were in NAfrica I can't tell you which one he was in by the ribbons.
