Default Diced balmoral

Hello! I have seen diced and no diced glengarries with their long tails...I have seen blue balmorals with red torie but without tails (I have a Cameron one)...but this is the first diced balmoral with long tails that I have ever seen....wich regiment belongs this balmoral? I find pictures of this type of balmoral, but they are not actual pictures...I find only from WWI era, and this one looks very used but modern...thanks for your help!

I think the Liverpool Scottish wore something very similar, will try and find some pictures.

P.B.

The Seaforth Highlanders wore these diced balmorals in full dress during the 1950s, and I believe the Royal Scots did as well.
