Default BORDER REGT BRIGADIER UNIFORM

Got this tunic which is made up as a Brigadier tunic named on the label as E. H. ENRIQUEZ .The buttons say CHINA with the dragon on them.Is there such a person who served as a brigadier in the Border Regt?Also where these buttons used on 1930-40 tunics or only later?I think this is a made up tunic what do you think?

He is in the Army List for October 1940 as a 2nd Lt., General List with special employment 31/7/40.

He is not listed in my April 1950 Army List.

P.B.

Surely it would be Brigadier *** (late Border Regiment) as I don't think there were many brigadiers in regiments.
