The photo is too small and far to determine the badge. I would say sometime in the 50s or 60s.

As CB states 50s to 60s in line with the service dates of the Austin Champ shown in the photo.

Belt buckle shows a flaming grenade, did RE use them on buckles?

Edit: or it could be two small buckles/buttons :/

Thanks all, it does tally with my suspicions. I think it was Royal Engineers and was during national service and would guess at 1960. By the way the soldier is my Uncle.

All those Commer GS 4x4 3 ton tippers in the background certainly point towards Royal Engineers.
