Just to confuse you all, I received a packet of badges from the Director of Signals in Sri Lanka many years ago. Included in the packet was the current cap and collar badges with the crown replaced with the Dhamma Chakkraya and perhaps more interestingly the badges worn by Ceylon Signals during the 1950s. This included the Royal Signals cap badge with crown, both in bi metal and instead of collar badges they wore cast brass shoulder titles which were CSC. I wrote back and got confirmation about the badges and also they stated that they continued to wear the crown after independence until the new badge was issued in 1982 (authorized in 1979). As an aside, Zambia Signals on independence also wore the Royal Signals cap badge without a crown for many years. If I can find the Ceylon Signal Corps title pix I have somewhere I will post it.
