There are 2 distinct types of badge. In the Regtl history they show the Officers wearing the upright scrolls badge which also has proportionally larger feathers. This is the design worn recently in a/a. The regt seem to have adopted the Offr design for ORs wear after WW2 as did many other Yeo regts.
Prior to his a/a badge the design was the usual bi-metal POW feathers which is the same design (but without a scroll) as the Welsh/Welch regt, 10th Hussars, 3 DG etc. It is also used by several regts as a collar badge. Consequently I do not know of any way of positively IDing a Wilts Yeo badge from a lugged collar or a cap badge that has lost its scroll (unless ther is some residue left there).
