Unamalgamated regiments such as some Scottish ones resumed wearing regimental badges, the Kings & others were amalgamations that required new regimental designs, RRF couldn't revert to a regimental badge as it was a new regiment formed from all of the regiments of the Fusilier Brigade which were already represented in the design of the Brigades badges & buttons. The new regiments regimental design was in effect already designed & being worn.
But then I'm sure you know that & have typo'd & I'm being pedantic.
