p.w. [paddywhack is too long ;)],
It is always hard to guess without photos so hopefully you can send some soon.
As for the tank hat. By dark green do you mean that dark blue-green that the Russians call wave green or sea green or occasionally tsar green. That indicates an officer parade uniform post-1969.
The "BG" hat. How small is the peak? Is it the really rediculously tiny ones from the 20s or just the small seen in the war and post-war era? I am sure all BG hats from 1935 at least are piped. I am also sure that most before that (1924-1935) are also piped but there may be exceptions. What colour is the band?? What material is it - the felt of standard BG hats or the regular wool twill sed on other hats and tunics?
