British in the main, but the info you provide does help. Thank you.
I've looked at quite a good sample of period (WWII) images now, and it does look like the 'unofficial' rule might have been that their was no rule! Maybe local level commanders decided what was and wasn't worn, and when? Unless someone knows differently...?

You're welcome! I have asked because you have posted your question in the South Africa Military Insignia forum, but I guess that if you want to find out what the regulations were for the British Army, it would be better to opne a new thread in the British Insignia Forum. To tell the truth I have tried to finde out the same thing for the Indian Army, since many of the epaulette slip ons badged to officers of Indian formations seem to have the plain khaki worsted cloth pips, but there's the odd exception of pips with the usual backing: red for Infantry, green for Rifles and so on....
