It is the Battle Dress that is 1947 pattern that was worn into the 1950s. Badges seem to be correct for 5 KINGS. A very similar uniform, but 1949 pattern, is/was on display in the Liverpool Museum, once worn by Tony Moore.

The late Tony Moore had an article published in the MHS Bulletin about the Battledress worn by 5 Kings with all its unique embellishments and I recall he ended the article by saying that he had donated his bd blouse to the NAM but I suppose he may well have had 2 blouses.

P.B.
