Border Regiment ACF

[ianh67military]

Spotted what looked like a standard Light Infantry yellow on green A.C.F. title. On closer examination there were some bits of raggedy purple showing, plus a very thin yellow stitching line on the outer edges. The back confirms the yellow stitching was put through both the green and the purple during manufacture. See photo below. Now I only know of a couple of regular shoulder titles with those colours and that's the Border Regiment and then the King's Own Border Regiment. Those colours were worn by the glider Infantry Border in WW2, and then, with the addition of a yellow glider as a battle honour post War.
Never seen another one so presume it's quite rare, a bit like the black on yellow Norfolk ACF title.
Can anybody confirm that is what I have found? Sell me another? Let me know when/if it was worn?
Grateful for any assistance,
Regards

Photos of the possible titles above the ACF.
Sorry for the appalling photography. Not one of my better skills since I moved to a so called smartphone.
