Just to throw my basic knowledge into the mix, the artillery and engineers were sister regiments and I would agree with @damon that the uniform is a match for artillery units. The bombs on the collar look like they only have one spread of flames (usually 7 for artillery) and the stripes on the trousers should be red if it’s an artillery related uniform, the cuff detailing matches the style I’m familiar with but I couldn’t be accurate on how they differentiate between units. The real identifying feature would be the belt buckle but I can’t make out anything. It’s not uncommon though for No1 dress to have a belt in the same cloth as the rest of the uniform, or plain leather, as well as a more formal white belt (stops you getting blanco all over your uniform when you’re not on parade). My thoughts would lead towards Royal Marine Artillery.
