No, The (Prince of Wales Own) Donegal Militia bore the precedent numbers "36" 1793-1833 and "102" thereafter.
Further, their Glengarry Badge, sealed on May 4, 1875 in white metal, is the Prince of Wales Feathers upon a scroll with the title 'Donegal Militia" (recorded in the list of changes WO 359 vol 2. P 411, date and metal only no pattern number or description recorded).
To the best of my knowledge they were never a Light Infantry corps, only the following Irish Militia corps were LI, Armagh, Royal South Down, Dublin County, Fermanagh, North Tipperary. Neither were they a Rifle corps (but am happy to be corrected)
