Keep looking out for the photos, they do exist. Remember that a senior staff sergeant (battalion HQ) and a colour sergeant (company NCO) wore the exact same badge of rank in 'undress', but only a staff sergeant wore a staff cap badge. Until 1902, the staff cap stood out very clearly to make clear the differential, but not after it was discontinued.
