With thanks to Nicolas von Moellendorff
ANSWERS
After spending many years with 5 Airborne Brigade at depot, I've never ever seen this belt. If you were 5th Airborne you wore black stable belt with Pegasus locket, some adapted their own colours with Pegasus buckle. Maroon is solely Para Regt, back in late 90's WRAC, before merger, if attached to Depot, Para were allowed to wear Para stable belts and maroon beret

Maroon belt & Pegasus locket? I was in 5 AB Bde HQ and know that the 5 AB Bde Logistics Battalion (RAOC, RCT and other support bods) wore black belt with pegasus. I don't ever recall seeing maroon with Pegasus but may be the Pathfinder Platoon adopted it? They had their own ways!
