The bit sticking out to the left of the ball on the left collar dog and to the right of the ball of the right collar dog as viewed from the front are the bottom edges and corners of the flames, just the angle of the insignia can make the badges look "wrong".

Yes it does, looks very off. I'm intrigued if I'd not mentioned he was RF if they would have been picked up as grenades though. I'm also waiting to see if you get told off for calling them collar dogs. I got told off for that once on here, I don't think I took a lot of notice though. Other than being indignant about being told off.

My first thought was grenades; trick of the light - and still think so.

I think your identification of the photo as showing a RF man took the (guess) work out of what would've been a longer process.

I think everyone who has served would call the collar dogs (unless I suppose they may somewhere be called mottos) As I said, collar dogs.

I still call them collar dogs. You run into pedantry sometimes, I guess some people just like to flex for whatever reason��
