Remarkable! Almost certainly one and the same unit I think. There's something about the way they wear their caps that indicates one senior rank checking that they were properly dressed for the occasion.
I used the image of Lt Tom King Som LI (TA) to introduce a brief I gave him in 1990 as HSI Hong Kong. He was surprised. CBF was very amused.
