yes ,photo made for fun.i have seen ss with rad caps ,and wh with luftwaffe common fun photos from period -
Almost doesn't look like a typical HJ buckle.
The large object just below center appears to be more round, than diamond shaped.

Is he wearing one of these badges? And perhaps a SA belt buckle also? Circa 1932 or earlier? The kepi looks to fit the boys head very well.Comment

Yes, he does, in my opinion.
HJ was in fact not allowed to wear the SA kepi, so he is wearing it for fun,
or to show off.
The photo might be from 1932 or so. The kepi does not show a colored
top, in my opinion. The colored top was a fact July 7, 1933.Comment

I saw in my books about the Kampfzeit (combat time) several pictures on which boys of the early HJ wore the same uniform as the SA.Comment

show photos please. Yes, the HJ was in the earliest years known as the
Jugendbund der NSDAP and in 1926 subordinated to the SA. In 1932
the HJ became an independent organization. Horst Wessel did wear an
SA like headdress, but this was not yet a kepi. The sort of headdress
was known as "Hitlermütze" and also worn in the same style as in other
organizations.
The kepi was not worn during the earliest years- period as the shown
photo with eagle on top!Comment
