Perhaps a note to Sandy Jones is in order? He's a former P/M of the USAF Pipe Band. He may be able to clarify which is the correct tartan, if there was an official one adopted at some point. The USAF Pipe Band website shows a picture of the band circa 1963. They're wearing what appears to be a tartan that has a wider green stripe in the pattern. I don't know enough about writing out the thread counts to describe it accurately.

I see light blue, dark blue/black, white, red, dark blue/black, green, dark blue, green, light blue. There's also possibly a gold stripe in the red. It's hard to tell in the blowup.
