If SRR then the beret would be a very different shade to the SAS, a kindve grey with hint of green.
I have a SSR beret but not to hand to photo and compare.

Attached to RSDG or Scottish Yeomanry?

Here's one of mine - only the very early ones (2005-2009 or there abouts) had the diamond liner. The more recent ones have a much smaller white square with the details printed on...

Still seems to be a QA beret, The teardrop on mine does look a darker red in less direct light.

Mine has a diamond and is made by Compton Webb.

Extracts are from the MOD clothing catalogue which was online a few years back for troops to order kit through the QM as a sort of ‘click and collect’ trial scheme. Like JSP768 as the source document it has plenty of errors, particularly with illustrations!

That is much more like the colour. Its defo not QARANC.

Bob, another good call - forgot Scots Yeo, but the cherry red backing?

To me , it looks like the 'tear drop' is a later addition .

They are on the RAMC berets for pax attached to other units - either hand sewn by the user or machined by the unit tailor(ess).

That looks machine sewn and there is certainly a tailor on hand at Hereford - how else do they get their sideburns and fjallraven trousers to fit?

Could it be RAMC attached to Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. Saw this when attached to The Greys.
