It looks like the scabbard of a sword to me. I think the humorous effect is due not to any mistakes on the part of the two soldiers in the picture, but rather to the fact that there is a powerful wind (notice the hats) which blows the kilts about. This causes the kilt of the soldier on the right to catch on his scabbard.
