I was issued a 'Cap Royal' 6¾" with Scarlet Band & Piping of the soft top variety in April 1970 and it came with a black plastic chin strap with plastic adjuster buckle (this was a separate item along with 2 small RAOC buttons and Cap Badge) while some were issued with the stiffer wired cap in different sizes, but all with the plastic strap as far as I can remember.
