Further research points to the hat being Royal Engineers as suggested above, it would seem that for other "Royal" titled Regiments the lower band of the hat would be red with the red piping around the top, and for non "Royal" titled Regiments such as the Devonshire Regiment for example an all blue hat with only the top band of red piping, hopefully I have all that correct now?
But I'm still unsure if any of these hats are "Blue Patrols" or if that is just the uniform?
