Can anyone ID these? Are they even WW1?

The friend says the rest of the uniform - that is a detail - looks RN to him. I'll ask if he's got the whole picture.

The uniform of the Royal Navy was copied by a lot of countries. Portugal and Greece are two examples & both wore inverted chevrons on the upper arm as in the photo.

The chevrons in the photo are not inverted. Points down is inverted.
