Help needed with Indian & Malay Corps

[GatinhoDeGato123]

Hello everyone, I recently bought 'The Unknown Force' written by Ian Gleeson, which covers the history of the black, indian and coloured soldiers of South Africa through several wars, most notably the first and second world wars. It contained alot of pictures of NMC and CC troops, but to my surprise, only one or two of IMC troops.

I see that the CC had their flash on the side of the slouch and pith, same goes for the NMC, except the NMC sometimes has both their badge and flash on the slouch, or just the badge.

This brings me to the question, was it the same for the IMC? I've attached a picture below of a group of IMC soldiers wearing both pith helmets and slouches, in regards to the pith, it's quite clear to see that their regimental flash is on there, and the badge on the front. It is, however, harder to make out what is on the side of the slouch due to the way the man is facing. Any help would be appreciated!
