The first picture say's the PM,DM and bandmaster are Royal Irish Rangers, they may well be, but the photo looks to have been taken while they were in the North Irish Brigade before the Rangers were formed / badged.

on the album cover - well spotted the cross belt is also reversed, you must be right.
With regard to the photo of Horn, Cunningham and Adlington. BM Horne is wearing either the NIB or RIR badge and you may well be right.
BM Horne , Ronald Frank MBE ARCM was BM 1 R. Innis Fus 1959-1968 and BM 1 Bn R.I. Rangers in 1968 succeeded by Brian William Kingsbury 1968-1969. Horne then became BM at the R. I Rang Depot on 13 Dec 1968 and retired 19 April 1970.
The image and data is form History of British Military Bands: Infantry and Irish (v. 3) June, 1997
