The background colours to the Arm of Service sign indicate Royal Artillery with an 'Army Troops' bar underneath. This is consistent with the serial '191' which was amongst those issued to AGRA HQ Regiments.

 

Although lacking a sword, the blue cross on white shield suggests 2nd Army. I'm not sure, in cases where the formation sign might have been painted rather than a transfer, the sword was always present ? Designs were sometimes simplified.

 

The difference in blue shade between vertical line and cross-bar looks to me to be down to the video scanning. 2nd Army had a straightforward single colour blue cross.
