Default Just to confuse

Just to confuse the cloth badge collectors, here are two brand new still in issue packets with the same NSN. But different colours. And a brand new WO2 Crown on Cameronian Green, who still wears this colour?

Marc,
I have LCpl chevrons as in your post in Rifle green and Cameronian Green both in sealed packets with same NSN 8455-99-974-2092

Also in sealed packages in a definite Cameronian Green:
WO2 large crown NSN 8455-99-973-8897
WO2 Crown in wreath NSN 8455-99-973-8944
Sniper NSN 8455-99-974-2026

These extracts from JSP768 only add more confusion, lack consistency, and refer to Cameronian companies of 52 Highland! Should be 52 LOWLAND (6 SCOTS)?

The JSP also states that the Cameronian Companies wear Black on Rifle Green. So I still do not see the reason for Cameronian Green badges to be made at all.
