Not KRRC, they are a group from the brother regiment, the Rifle Brigade.  The glengarry cap badge shown is the typical RB badge with its laurel wreath surround, but the clincher is the style of the sergeants stripes, which were traced with a line of gold Russia braid, a pattern not used by the KRRC, whose rank stripes were black braid on a scarlet background.  Their badge also had no surrounding laurel wreath.
