No tankies there (Royal Tank Regiment, that is), but you're right on hussars. Red trousers used to mean 11th Hussars (The Cherrypickers) but I think that they amalgamated with the 10th Hussars (who used to be known as the "Shiny" 10th) and may now be The Royal Hussars. The cap badge on the one with the white stripe down his trousers looks like The Queen's Dragoon Guards, which used to be Wales's only cavalry regiment.
