I saw that. Looks like it had Seaforth Highlanders double collar badges, I don't know how else to explain those holes.
I think it's a 1953 Archer Green Coatee which has been modified.
Here can be seen the 1953-1959 Seaforth Officers' coatee, that from the waist up is a match, I believe.

Over the years I've seen a number of jackets on Ebay which have had aftermarket tashes added, sometimes quite crudely.
With that Ebay listing, look closely at the photo showing the rear. You can see the crude hand stitching holding the tashes and flaps on. The tashes themselves look well-made, as if they were taken off a piper's doublet.
