Why the T instead of CT census number? Are these guys stooging about in a British T-16? I agree though, the shoulder titles, apparently 'grey' division flashes and shape of the cap badge would indicate SDG Highlanders. Contrary to Jordan's pre D-Day suggestion, this photo has the look and feel of post war celebratory one. Another reason for thinking this is the tartan backing behind the badges on the balmorals. While you do see tartan backings behind Scottish and highland cap badges during the war, such bling was way more common just after.

I suspect the Glens by the uniform Dertails and this pic from Utrecht on June 6 1945 that was posted on MLU at
http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9799 notice the similarity of uniforms, the .50 mount on the front gunners plate and the similarity of T prefix census numbers in both style and placement.

Nice find Jason
At least I was partially correct around the DDay reference.
