To help narrow things down, It is my understanding that when the Foot Guards adopted Khaki service dress Lance Corporals wore two stripes, Corporals wore thre stripes and were called 'Lance Sergeants'  Sergeants in the Grenadiers had the grenade device above their stripes. In other Foot guards just make sure you got know your Sergeants and Corporals by sight!

I think the center soldier is wearing an incomplete set of CG insignia.

Weird combinations are commonly seen in a Hospital context:

Forgive me Joe, I can't see the point you are trying to illustrate with this picture. Simply looks like a Cameronian with appropriate buttons to me.

He's wearing an SD cap with Camerons badge, rather than the appropriate Scottish headgear...

Thank you Andrew, it was the lack of Hospital context that made me query but you have certainly made a point I skipped.
