In my copy of 'Coots in the North', there ia an illustration of the 3 D+G's being left behind by the lorry when they climbed out to stretch their legs. All 3 seem to be wearing school garb, including caps. I think the image is one of AR's. They don't wear this kit on the broads, perhaps they 'dressed up' for their expedition.
Some of the illustrations in WH seem to show John and Dick with school caps in the snow. It looks odd to my young eyes. I hated my cap and was eager to be shot of it when I reached the 4th year at my grammer school and could leave it off without suffering the prefect's wrath.
