Does any one have any background about this pix?
This has been discussed to death on this forum a couple of times.
This is from a scene from a ISPR production.
And a brother of a martyred officer if I am not mistaken, portraying his brother in the movie.(???)

May be not an SSG but a Pak Marine.
Seems like this not PakMarine Cammo or the pattern. The round edges are not used in our camo pattern if I am not mistaken.

Hmmm. Two tactical radios, Carbiner for rapelling, NVG, Side arm, and I think quick cuffs! Interesting load-out.

It can be used as additional fuel tank.
So maybe a bit more fuel for the said Puma.
As I understand it, it is of the Pakistani officer in Royal Military college Australia, as WindJammer pointed out.
The other picture of him in desert camo, and this one point to it IMO>

Trainees have to undergo forced marches in which they have to cross
36 miles of rugged terrain in nine hours while wearing full combat
loads. Typical exercises involve round-the-clock movement for five days and nights without sleep, while carrying only two days worth of food and water. Once that runs out, they must live off the land and the few villages in the area are kept under surveillance by the trainers. If captured, they are thrown into the dungeons of Attock Fort and
subjected to a gruelling process of interrogation. Among those who
break down during the five-day exercise, the common refrain is SSG
dozakh hai (SSG is hell).
Those who finally make it, earn the distinction of wearing the maroon
beret and the coveted SSG badge on their chest. These men are too
precious to be wasted in the activities of conventional soldiers, yet
even those who should know better continue to misuse them for
guard duties and personal security functions. Occasionally SSG troops tend to misuse their skills as well, which is exactly what happened when one of the SSG units was due to be inspected by a GHQ team. There ws a growing sense of anxiety in the unit as many of their
jeeps had become unserviceable for want of spare parts which were
not forthcoming. Faced with this problem, they solved it in true SSG
style. A night before the inspection, a few men stealthily penetrated
the motor park of an artillery unit some 20 kilometres away, and went
about removing the required parts from the jeeps parked there. Having completed their job quickly and in silence, they returned to base and
used the stolen parts in their own jeeps. Lo and behold, when
inspection time came around, the unserviceable jeeps were up and
running. The following morning, when the commanding officer of the artillery unit learned that his jeeps had been mysteriously cannibalised, he nearly collapsed and had to undergo overnight hospitalisation. SSG commandos are trained in the words of Hannibal to find a
way or make one. They had done just that, but GHQ was not amused
to say the least.

P.S. The militants contrived a way to hit the company at its base in Tarbel most likely using the help of their sympathisers in the base itself. These sympathisers acquired C4 plastic explosive from the company armoury, placed it in the mess, and detonated it by remote control killing 22 soldiers.
(original story was suicide bomber with a white beard wearing suicide vest rode a bicycle towards mess and blow himself outside the mess)
