the one patch looks to be the 16th Air Assault Brigade patch in subdued colours and if so...from what I am reading it would be either 2 Para or 3 Para ???
BUT according to Wikipedia ALL of the following are part of the 16th Air Assault Brigade.
Current formation
16 Air Assault Brigade Headquarters and Signals Squadron (216 Parachute Signal Squadron)
1st Battalion, The Royal Irish Regiment (27th (Inniskilling), 83rd, 87th & Ulster Defence Regiment)
2nd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment
3rd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment
Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, 5th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland
7th (Parachute) Regiment Royal Horse Artillery
21 Air Assault Battery 47th Regiment Royal Artillery[2]
3rd Regiment Army Air Corps
4th Regiment Army Air Corps
9th Regiment Army Air Corps
23 Regiment (Air Assault), Royal Engineers
7th Air Assault Battalion, Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers
13 Air Assault Support Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps
16 Medical Regiment, Royal Army Medical Corps
156 Provost Company, Royal Military Police
Pathfinder Platoon
So maybe it is from a different unit that a Para Battalion?
