Can lower enlisted where the ASU service cap? I was looking through AR 670–1 and couldn't find anything in regards to if it is only authorized for NCOs and officers. I know I am not required to have one, but I think they look far more professional than the beret.

If you want a special cap, wait til you're an NCO and can wear the service cap per AR 670-1 or go to a Cav unit and get yourself a Stetson. My first duty station was with 1st Cav and even though it wasn't mandatory, we were "highly encouraged" to own a Stetson. So as a PV2, I went and bought the damn thing and only wore it maybe three times.

I saw a spec 4 wear this service cap during honor guard ceremony as part of a funeral detail does company level commander have authority to authorize the use of service cap for junior enlisted for uniformity.

That was standard issue in the 60's. I had no idea it fell out of favor???

Just a comment on how you phrased your question. E-1 to E-4 are never "lower" enlisted, they are junior enlisted. Do you think of yourself as a lower being, a lower Soldier? I hope not.

only non-commissioned officers, warrant officers, and commissioned officers wear the ASU service cap. E4 and below wear beret. It identifies leadership in the formation.

The scrambled eggs and gold band pretty much got my attention regarding status..
I thought the beret was a good idea at the time but not so much anymore... We had the option to wear the "bus drivers cap" or the folding headdress...Don't even remember what that one was called but I remember its nickname...
