I wouldn't have said the styles were that different in the picture most wear then from left to right like a beret. You may notice that the Officers tend to have theirs all the same way and the jocks have the variation.
There was always a variation in the way different regiments wore their ToS. Some like berets others with the fronts pulled straight down and the sides turned up!!
As this looks like a prewar (2) photo you also need to remember there was a damn sight more material in the bunnet then
