This film clip is NOT of the Indian Long Range Desert Group. It is of another Indian Army formation, the Guides Cavalry which was only in the North African desert campaign June to September 1942. When the film is watched closely an officer wears the Guides badge and some think a shoulder badge does too.
There was an Indian Army unit that joined the Long Range Desert Group, this was the Indian Long Range Squadron (ILRS), in the North African campaign. They did not use the vehicles shown, Marmon-Harrington armoured cars and two pounder guns on a portee,
