    One of the kilts is larger than the other, ergo belongs to the larger partner in the duo.

    If I had the money I would donate them to the Laurel and Hardy Museum in Ulverston, Cumbria (where Stan Laurel was born as Arthur Stanley Jefferson).

    Slightly off subject, my next door neighbour shared a train carriage with them coming to Scotland in 1947. He was in the army at the time and his insignia contained a cross. Stan Laurel leaned across and asked him if he was "an ecclesiastical gentleman". He had to explain the insignia was for his unit in Germany. He said he had never seen anyone before whose stomach covered his knees like Hardy's.

    That is cool. Let's hope that they end up in a good museum where they can be seen and appreciated by fans everywhere.

    By Jove Trefor, that's a brilliant deduction!
