I suppose if its not a snr ncos badge it could have been converted to go on a wooden shield to make a trophy?Some type of mess tradition to be mounted & put on a table?

Hi Gary,if you put your 15 over 3 Btns would give us 45 . The few images ive seen are mostly Depot staff. The Sgts definately wore.black snake belts round the waist.
I did have 2.ideas which maybe work. Both involve conversion from lugs to screwposts.
1) Crossbelt for a cadet RSM,as Toby mentioned ,on the narrower belt.
2) Pouch badge for the 1st Btn as the never brought a crossbelt or pouch badge to the party.
