This badge isn't listed in Mazeas. The 5th were designated the Royal Light Infantry of Montreal 1862, then 5th Bn Royal Fusiliers Montreal 1875, then 5th Bn Royal Scots Fusiliers 1880 and 5th Bn Royal Scots of Canada 1884. More designation changes followed. The insignia before 1884 is shown as a flaming grenade.
I am not sure what Chris Brooker bases his information on. Some background would be welcome.
