Default Recce Corps Mystery?

This photo shows a young soldier wearing the badge of the Reconnaissance Corps in a Scots tam o'shanter, the formation sign on his arm that of 48th South Midland Division.

The 48th Recce Bn was formed in October 1941 from 5th Bn, The Glosters and was subsequently reduced to a Company and then became a Squadron before being absorbed by 80th Recce in 1943.

None of which would seem to account for the headgear.

Thoughts please.
