The photo does rather suggest that the brass ones were the first issue and they subsequently changed them to a bronze finish.

There is always a problem dating cadet uniforms as they often had obsolete uniforms but looking at the jacket and the shoulder patches I think that is is early and probably pre WW1.

Yes I believe that it reflects that worn by the QWR which the school had an affiliation to.

From the few photos online it appears that school did not adopt the School OTC badge in 1908 but was still wearing QWR insignia in 1911-12 and possibly longer. This ties in with your Head boy's badge...

I believe that pre 1908 and the founding of the OTCs the school's cadet corps was affiliated to the QWR hence the use of their design.
