Slightly overwhelmed by the responses.
To clarify the original question.

I run a charity and also do some other charity work outside of my own. Recently I have been supporting local veterans events and came across this jacket in an antiques store. It fitted perfectly but I had no idea as to its history. I am now trying to piece together an entire uniform based on this. I have been doing quite a lot of research myself, hence the discovery that it was a Chaplains. My latest research points to a dutch origin for the ribbon ??? Thanks to everyone and if you have any suggestions as to suitable outlets then I would love to know.

Can't find the "Dutch" ribbon here

To complete the uniform you are looking for a British Army Officers Service Dress trouser http://www.sofmilitary.co.uk/british-officers-service-dress-sd-trousers-product,15275  (other oulets are available)

Good afternoon,

Interestingly there are loops sewn on above the GSM to carry the medal but nothing above the other ribbon. That tells me the medal was never worn at all.

Not necessarily so, it may only have required the two loops if the medals were on a double bar. I posses a uniform with only three loops but it was worn with six medals, I have the medals also.

Do you mean the one about half the way down this page:

The stripe is similar but it is yellow and green whereas yours is white and green.

Is there any reason that you don't believe that the Oman Peace Medal is the right one?

If it eases your doubt, this one isn't quite as white:
