Default NZ 2nd Expiditionary Force 1940 help

Hi folks

A friend on a Greek site has just posted a polo type pith helmet marked
"Capt F G Platt C Coy"

I found a Capt F G Platt, Reserve Officer from the Hauraki Regiment, 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force 1940 and wondered if it could be him?

Has anyone got any thoughts, does "C Coy" match at all?

Only other details are that the maker is Biswas & Co with an address that matches an address in Calacutta and the hat is marked 1940
Regards
Sean
