In my experience of the SF world, 2s are worn for (very) occasional parades, funerals (sadly more common) and investitures.
I never saw the silver rank badges worn for any of the above but I did see the pompadour blue ones worn for all three. That said, I was never a member of the SRR and as you say JSP768 is pretty clear even if it contradicts Army Dress regs!
In the early days, RM members wore the SRR collar dogs and shoulder titles on lovats but with RM buttons and rank badges (as did the SBS). That may have changed though.
