Default RLC STABLE BELT

Can you tell me about this RLC stable belt please? Particular unit or fantasy?
2 colour shades but this could be camera lighting(??) Not in RLC colours?

Jerry,
I only have this RLC buckle, the cloth on your belt reminds me of the type worn by the Mercian regiment?

That's a Mercian belt. Possibly from an RLC soldier attached to their regiment.

Thank you for your replies
The belt seems well made for just a few attached personal. Would the Regiment have many RLC attached or would it be a Army Reserve unit??

Chefs (up to a few years ago), possibly some MT, LAD occasionally had a specialist storeman or QMs.
