That Guards patch is what is known as an aggressor patch. It was used by allied armies on exercises and was worn by "opposition armies" who were dressed as the enemy (usually Soviets) in copied uniforms. The uniforms are very crude (usually poor copies of the KLMK camo one piece smock. This would ahve been worn on a field uniform of some description. They were produced in America as far as I know.
Last saturday I came accross a really poorly made officer cockade which had a double loop and pin attachment which is typically British. I can only assume that this too was an "agressor" item.
