It is an Argyll badge,definitely not BW,The badge is too round The Watch wisna in Tripoly in 1950

Looks more like the famous victory march through Tripoli after the allies defeated the Axis forces in North Africa in 1943.I think the cap badge is too round for the Argyll,(mess tin)as it was some times referred to,perhaps its one of the English/Scottish regiments.!!!Bill...

After a wee bit more research and going by the Black Sporran with two white tassles and the shape of the cap badge.

It is the 1st Battalion, The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders

They were in Tripoli from Feb 1949 as part of the British peacekeeping initiative during the run up to Libyan independence in 1951.

In Nov 1951 they were posted to the Canal Zone.
