Help identifying a Regiment please

The badges on the sporrans are much clearer with the enhancements to the photo and I can see the device now, that of the Gordon Highlanders. Excellent work to get the question answered.

I agree with you they are Gordon's. I actually have both versions of that badge, one is a relief cut out stags head, and the other is solid. It is pre ww1 when there was more independence for volunteer battalions from the parent regiments. The rifle regiments similarities could come from the fact they were raised as a independent rifle company before falling under the Gordon's.
