Default More Boer War titles

Interesting info on the IBC titles, many thanks.
I hope it is not getting away from the main theme too much, but I have often wondered just which "MR" title was correct for the Boer War NSW Mounted Rifles. I have several variations in my picture file and any comments would be appreciated. My own theory is that two separate letters are correct. One of the two sizes of cursive letters could be 'Midland Railways", don't know about the others.
I am fairly sure they wore a blackened NSW Vols collar badge, sometimes a NSW button, on their slouch hats. There are also the very scarce 'cat's head' buttons with two different designs. I can post pictures of these if anyone is interested.
