What regiment would have used a shako cover with a green 20 painted on it?

There are always these guys without the R

But this picture from the regimental history of RJR 15 should literally open a box of worms!

It's interesting how off center those numbers are on the shako! Of course, on the other, could actual 'line' Jaegers have shakos, while support in the same unit use the Pickelhaube?
