The only time I've seen kilts being worn by entire units in WWII was the Gordon Highlanders and Cameron Highlanders in France pre-Dunkirk, and they wore no aprons.
Photos show these Gordon Highlanders in two distinct kits, sometimes seen together in the same photo:
1) kilt, Service Dress jacket, khaki tam o shanter, khaki hose, puttees (no apron or sporran)
2) Battledress jacket & trousers, Glengarry
