My understanding is that the maroon beret is worn by all the gunners in the troop regardless of having passed P Coy (there is no requirement for those who wear the beret within 16 Air Assault Bde to have passed P Company) but everyone is expected to complete P Company at some stage.
I was also led to believe that the gunners wore the long, RA type, badge and the signallers attached to the troop wore the flaming grenade HAC badge.
This may or may not be correct but it does come from someone in the HAC
