Good question!
In The Scottish Soldier by Stephen Wood, there's a magnificent fullpage photo titled "Pipe Major Donald MacLean and Drum Major James Watson, King's Guard Pipe Band at Balmoral Castle, 1947."
It shows these two men plus other pipers in the background all wearing the prewar khaki service dress tunic, Highland cutway style, with standing collar bearing collar badges. Interesting that the Pipe Major's crossbelt bears six miniature cap badges of various Scottish regiments. They are wearing spats, hosetops, horsehair sporrans, belts etc as per full dress.
