Doubt it makes much difference to what was originally asked but if that's a wedding band on his finger then that would allow you to put an earliest date on the photo.

Thank you for posting the comparison.  Would it make any difference that my uncles cap is kinda squished compared to the other gentleman’s?  Probably a daft question, but I have no clue  :)

That is just an affectation of the wearer as in anyone wearing an ordinary cap or hat or beret tilted to one side.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.

I haven’t been able to find any RNVR records for my uncle who was.  I have now got his death certificate, which states he was working as a tailors presser (he was one of many civilian war dead).  I think I may have come across a brick wall with regards what he was wearing and why.
