Interesting picture, Coastie. But unfortunately it is a black-and-white (or sepia) print that has been coloured by hand, and by an artist with little knowledge or understanding of tartan, so it is somewhat unreliable.
The kilt aprons look rather white, but my understanding is that they were made of khaki cloth.
Regards,

A very interesting photo, but marred by funky colouring.
Their Gordon Highlanders capbadges have been painted gold with red backgrounds. One of the Glengarry's (black) bindings has been rendered red and gold. The overcoat has been painted French blue. The kilt aprons have been painted light grey (instead of light khaki). And the plaid of the kilts is completely fanciful.
It does show something that's seen in many WWI photos of Highlanders, that is Scottish pattern tunics and English pattern tunics mixed in the same unit.
