Adding to my confusion, I've also seen them for sale in pairs as officer's collars (on pins!) - indeed I bought an identical pair myself some time ago because they were going cheap.

Hi Mark,
I thought I would throw up a couple of quick photos to better illustrate my comments.
As you can see the two top badge are headdress badges, one with the standard slider and the one with the pin you mentioned earlier, as you can see the latter is full size - both being around 47mm in hight.
Below are shown a selection of three collars; the first with lugs and the second with pin (which you mentioned) both of these are well below 30mm. Thrown in for fun, the third is a locally made example, at 32mm a little larger but still a collar (I have the pair).
Cheerio,
Roy
