John, do you know Tim Ryan? I did some research on the very regulations you have mentioned a while back and questioned Tim about them as I knew he had a uniform with one of the combinations mentioned, but can't remember which one.
The good news is that Tim and Peter Cook are working together on a book covering NZ uniforms worn during the Volunteer period. Tim lives in Lower Hutt not far from you. PS, to be fair you really should mention in your posts that you are seeking the information for a book you are writing.
