Are they green or black cloth tape?

Possibly unit tailor made for the tropical White Uniform, or Cooks Whites.

It would have been helpful to have made that clear from the outset. The green looks black in the photograph.

Green on my screen! However, possibly made by a cook not a tailor!

Could be for a Mess Manager, (Usually a Sgt running the staff in the Officers Mess) sometimes seen in a white mess waiters jacket. I think they could be cut down from an armband.
Or a Gurkha Cook Sgt.
