The khaki drill shirt suggests the Mediterranean/Italian theatre and the plain cloth of the kilt looks very much like the Hodden Grey of the London Scottish Regiment.

The 1st and 3rd battalions of the London Scottish served in both North Africa and Italy in the infantry and artillery roles respectively so it could be a good match.
