Did any other R-VR cap badge ever have a naval crown ?

Have a RNVR spoon ( attd pic ) with a naval crown - as on RN ship crests.
Is it at all possible that the picture referred to showed a Merchant Navy cap badge? This badge does have the crown as described above.

I had family members who were merchant navy wearing MN cap badge early on in WWII before signing on to RNVR and changing the badge to the KC RN cap badge.
