Possibly a Guards bearskin, battered, with the diced band added for some reason, possibly theatrical, although the diced band is stitched into the lining.

Unfortunately not a genuine military item. As leigh mentioned, it appears to be an old bearskin that has been much altered with a diced band added.
Most likely for movie/theatrical use.

It’s purporting to be from the Napoleonic era, but isn’t.

Take away the diced border and I'd have thought of the Afghan artillery in the first Afghan War of the middle 19th century.

There was an Afghan "highland" regiment ins the 2nd Afghan War of 1879, who wore a red and white checkered table cloth material instead of a tartan, a red doublet faced yellow and a white sun helmet.

I know these do not apply here, just what came to mind.
