Braces buttons on the outside was common in WWI. Not sure when they made the switch over in the British/Can./Aussie armies but it was before WWII. Don't know about European trousers, which I suspect these are - never seen a pocket quite like that on British stuff.
White inserts is a bit odd too - I would have expected a darker colour or even leather if for mounted troops. An odd item.Comment

The Inserts are a light beige, looks whiter as they are in nature.
Maybe this comes from the rubbing off from wearing them.
Also the inner lining, Pockets are made of a beige/khaki fabric.
It looks very similar to the "Breeches No.2 Dress, Mounted Regiments" I have which also have fabric Inserts and not Leather ones.
