The man in the photo looks R or R.W. Fusiliers & that man
didn't serve overseas as he's not displaying Medal ribbons.

Well spotted Jim1
If Thomas was Conscripted aged 18 in 1916 then the RAMC of the same Name he didn't Enlist aged 16 in 1914 and went Overseas and finally on Pension 1919
If he was a Soldier post War
Wouldn't sending for his Service Records post 1920 solve it ?

I would suggest only sending for his DOB and Name and see if they find 1920 Army Records and subsequent RAF to 1943 hopefully the RAF Records to Death show when he started and has reference to Previous Service.

The RAMC Record is clearly not him.

I did send for the RAF record quite recently.  Most of it was redacted ie next of kin, names, addresses etc. so I didn't pay much attention to it.

On the Previous Engagement Section it says the following:

"Army Reserve Section "D"

19.03.23 to 18.03.27"

So looks like Medal Card man is not mine.  Plus wrong badges etc.  Hope I haven't wasted anybodies time, though I still don't know what his uniform was.  He married my grandmother in 1921 in Liverpool so the studio photo must be earlier than this when he still lived in Wales.
