If I remember right, after the British left the region, Gurkas remained in some of those countries as their own fighting units. There was some in India, Burma, and even still in the UK (they fought in the Faklans War with Argentina). I think this one may have belonged to a Gurka officer with the Indian forces, perhaps before the British left in mid century.
