It's an intelligence ploy.  You can picture opposing intel officers
swearing under their breath: "17/21 Lancers-what does that mean?  14th
Queen's Own Light Grenadier Guards Rifle Regiment?  What the heck is
that? 
On this photo, this unit is supposedly a regiment, that one is listed as
a
battalion but it's three times the size...did someone switch labels
again?
The computer translation lists Highlanders as mountain troops, is that
right?"
