WWI Formation Signs on a tunic, please help!

[ParaDave]

I would appreciate any help on these patches. They are on a tunic in great condition - many thanks!

LG in Wreath above corporals stripes indicates a Lewis Gunner. Grenade above RSF is Royal Scot’s Fusiliers shoulder title. Overseas chevrons on lower right cuff. Two wound stripes on lower left cuff.
The buttons look like the double headed eagle of the Lanarkshire Yeomanry which in early 1917 was amalgamated with The Ayrshire Yeomanry to form the 12th (Ayr and Lanark Yeomanry) Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers in 74th (Yeomanry) Division, seeing service in the Palestine campaign before moving to the Western Front in May 1918.

If you put the two cloth formation? badges together they remind me a bit of this combined device on a helmet.

I will check my references when I get home to see if I can attribute the patches to the RSF.

I can’t find the formation patches on the jacket attributed to the RSF

The white/red formation patch is very similar to the 2nd Battalion King's Own Malta Regiment!? However I can't make out which part of the tunic it's attached to!

I have seen the red white triangle in this position before on a tropical WW1 tunic to the 5th East Lancs, 42nd Division who served in the canal zone. Perhaps as was often the case he transferred to the RSF later and this tunic is reflective of his entire service?

The red/white diamond was the yeomanry brigade badge of 31 Division
