Fighting in Shanghai, Chinese troops in British uniform?

I think there members of the Shanghai Volunteer Corps.A Company contained White Britons,B Company consisted of Eurasians,C Company were Chinese.

Thanks!

Hi,
Dear Peter and Gerrie Coetzee,

Three sailors standing by British soldiers it than Chineses aren't. These are Japanese sailors from Shanghai garrison. Certainly they are carrying the Japanese kit: enlarging the photograph – I recognize Japanese sailors hats, the back ammunition pouches (large pouch) holding 60 rounds, and probably the bayonet Type 90. I am not specializing in British Army. I don't know, when British persons resigned from puttees (which one can see in a photo).
LMG Lewis used by in the paucity on the weaponry British Shanghai of the garrison to 1941.

I know, that during street fights in 1928 year (in Shanghai was then communist uprising destroyed by Kuomintang during heavy street fights) Japanese and British garrisons cooperated repeatedly together. Maybe, perhaps then this photograph was taken.
Sorry, for my poor English,
Regards,
Jabu
