About jacket sleeve length, it's quite common for the Scottish military jackets to have the sleeves somewhat longer than US civilian suit sleeves, often around halfway between the wrist and knuckles, or even at the knuckles.

About the flashes, different regiments wore them in different places.

The Black Watch and the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders wore theirs far forward, with the leading edge of the front flash at the front centre line of the dicing on the hose. The new RRS seems to have followed that look.

The Highlanders wore theirs further to the side in approximately the 10 o'clock/ 2 o'clock position, as do the pipers of the Scots Guards and the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.

I don't think any Scottish regiment wore them at the sides, at the 9 o'clock/ 3 o'clock position, which I suppose is why that looks "wrong" to my eye.
