How can you tell the difference between units? They all wear similar or the same camo and uniforms

Noticed that that original counter terror thread was opened in 2011, since we are in 2021 as per Gregorian calender, might as well go a decade back and see the difference in gear in the valley.

2011 pics and a NDTV report..

Who are the various forces though? Are the guys with patka helmets CRPF or BSF? Is the woodland camo for the RR or some other group? And how about that guy with the Tavor and head wrap, is he police?

Guy armed with the Tavor and sporting a bandana was said to be from Para SF. The pic was circulated widely back in the days.

I see, they look much more professional now than that old picture. I still haven't gotten anyone to explain who wears what uniforms though! Is there some sort of guide with pictures somewhere?
There are markers that differentiate within the teams. like the orange square on this troopers helmet.
there is no permanent identifier as such within IA.

What about CRPF or BSF? do they have specific uniforms in J&K? I saw that some guys have camo patka and some have black helmets. Are the black ones only for a certain unit?
