Interesting lot there, especially the cloth titles. I find them odd for two main reasons:
(1) they are printed (and look a bit dodgy!) - I would expect embroidered if anything as I do not believe the War Office would have authorized these titles being made.
(2) the colours are also not what I would expect. In Litchfield's 'The Territorial Artillery 1908-1988' he mentions that officers of the Scottish Horse are believed to have worn red-on-blue titles (as they were then part of the Royal Artillery, 79th & 80th Medium Regiments). The colours seen on these titles are the same as for the Lothians and Border Yeomanry and Lothians & Border Horse.
Any other suspicions?
