Jack,
I now see the brown and yellow but cannot identify. Lanyard identification and usage can be tricky, not helped by a lack of published material. Even MOD official documentation is often vague with colours described as 'Blue No 3'. Also manufacturers variations and colour fading. British Army style lanyards were/are also worn by the armies of other countries and by non-military organisations. Black and white WW2 photographs do not usually help and often the lanyards were only worn in 'best' Battle Dress.
Probably not surprising that there seem to be few collectors around!
