Having not looked at the pic I went with the only Cameron worn by Highland Regiments. I'm guessing that the OP was basing the question on this excerpt from the article....
"Millin began his apparently suicidal serenade immediately upon jumping from the ramp of the landing craft into the icy water. As the Cameron tartan of his kilt floated to the surface he struck up with Hieland Laddie. He continued even as the man behind him was hit, dropped into the sea and sank. "
Having not seen the Fraser Hunting I could not comment to that effect, only agree with those more knowledgeable.

I read that he donated the kilt he wore in Normandy along with his bagpipes, knife and beret to the National War Museum of Scotland in 2001. And that it was the same Cameron tartan kilt his father wore in Flanders in the Great War.
Not an exact quote, but their words. Don't remember which newspaper or website, since I read several.
Apparently the tartan he wore at Normandy was different that the tartan in the pic from in the Obit in the Telegraph (link above). I guess I was ambiguous in asking about the tartan worn in the picture which is of a fairly recent vintage. So if I have followed everyone accurately Piper Bill wore the Cameron of Errracht at Normandy and the tartan in the pic is Fraser Hunting Ancient.
