This is what Blanco is...

As stated, they're not wearing web belts, blancoed or otherwise, and blancoed web belts were sometimes, but not always, worn with tunics, but not always, and anyway in a none military situation even if they had worn web belts, they could have removed them to be more comfortable.
So basically there is no difference between Battle Dress uniform, which is what it is, and walking out uniform.
This is what a full set of WW2 era beige Blancoed webbing looks like.
http://www.paddelaters.com/WW2%20British%20army/home-page.jp...Standard WW2 and pre and post WW2 era British Army Battle Dress uniform, the man on the left has no pleats on his breast pockets, and he has exposed buttons on his tunic, which is a utility pattern tunic, i.e. an economy version, first introduced in 1942 to save material, before that the buttons were concealed behind cloth and the breast pockets were pleated.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_DressThe same battle dress uniform was worn by both the British Army and by the Royal Marines.
British Marines are never called either Royal Navy Marines or British Royal Navy Marines.
They're always called Royal Marines or just Marines for short.
Although the Royal Marines and the Royal Navy are both administered by the British Admiralty and Royal Marines are a part of the Royal Navy and not a part of the Army.
There is only one clue in the picture to whether or not they are WW2 era Army soldiers or Royal Marines.
As was said, the objects on their left shoulders are hats, placed under their epaulettes, and they look like berets...

Forces.
Same thing with the birth registrations of his children.
U.K. marriage and birth certificates cost about £10, applications for service records cost £30 whether or not the correct record can be identified or not, except for spouses or parents, for whom there is no charge, and for a deceased service person, who didn't die whilst in service, proof of death must be supplied.
