Default ROYAL ULSTER RIFLES LANYARD ?

Picked up this lanyard with some RUR items, the dress regulations for the RUR say their lanyard is rifle green, this is green and black, can anyone ID it ?

I know that the Rifle Brigade wore a rifle green and black lanyard, but it was of twisted cord and a similar version was later adopted by the successor regiment, The Royal Green Jackets.

Could it be Royal Irish Rifles? The colours look right.

I have a WW2 uniform which has the dark green lanyard, but there is one lot of RUR bits on Ebay at the moment, looks 1950s, buttons titles etc, and it includes a two colour lanyard like the one shown above.
