Just to add to the 'evidence' of these khaki kilts with the windowpane check being issued to Canadian regiments, here's a WWII recruiting poster for the Royal Highlanders of Canada, allied with the Black Watch. You can clearly see that it depicts the same kilt as OC Richard posted above, accurate down to the red and blue lines.
What's important about this is that you can see how it blends in with the rest of the uniform, and would appear as a plain old khaki kilt from more than a few feet away.
*edited to add: I also find his sporran interesting. Never seen one like that, with the many tassels and a battalion number on the flap. And oh how I wish I could find some vintage khaki spats like that!
Also, there appears to be a red windowpane check on his Glengarry. Never seen that before, either. But considering the accuracy of the kilt, I tend to believe everything else is accurate too.
