World War One / Re: Help wanted identiying regiment from uniform - updated

This is an update on my earlier post:
I recently checked the 1921 Census and saw that on the address of my grandfather's family there was a Francis Michael Killoran listed as visitor. His occupation was shown as a soldier and he also worked for the Post Office, so there is an connection between one of the men in this photo and the Post Office. I think Francis may be the man on the left and not Fred Lay (my great uncle ) who I originaly thought it might be. I think it's possible that Francis was visiting the family as he was a pal of my other great uncle Albert Lay (b1900) who was a soldier.
Does anyone have any useful links or information about Post Office regiments during WWI?
I now think that it is Albert Lay on the right here. I'm not sure if he worked for the Post Office but he was certainly a soldier in the early 1920s when was listed a a rifleman in the Infantry in India and it is possible that he signed up to be a soldier earlier in WWI even though he was below age. Please see below two photos of Albert, I think that facially he is the same as the man on the right in the main photo above.
Any help/comments would be welcome.
