But its a badge and as someone else has already pointed out, its worn on a cap. So, its a cap badge.

I beg to disagree Dave. Tradition is hugely important to regiments and those that serve in the regiments become very attached to their traditions. I think that should be respected. In my own regiment a 2nd Lieutenant was known as a Cornet abbreviated to Ct. This did cause some issues when the said officer went on a course or had travel documents inspected but once people receive an explanation then they will understand. I suspect that in the case of the Motto those in the supply chain would be aware and of course the item would probably have a part number which would be quoted the the QM staff.
