ID: Diamond Patch on pith helmet?

Sorry about the rather damaged picture.

Can anyone identify the significance of the large diamond shaped patch on the pith helmets here? I have not seen such an emblem on the front of sun-helmets before.

from the sliver of visible kilt and the hose of the men on the right (as we look), I think these may be Seaforth Highlanders and the location may be India.

I do not know the date of the picture; they are wearing 03 equipment and appear to be armed with SMLE MkIs rather than MLEs or MkIIIs which is a rather mixed message! Perhaps just pre war?

TIA

Chris
