Boyles=MMG
It is my understanding that the "Boyles" appelation is a nickname only and that the official title of the unit was the Yukon Motor Machine Gun Battery. So I think we're only talking about one unit here. If that is the case, then the crossed machine gun devices, regardless of variation, should be hat badges only, with the maple leaf bearing MGD as the collar insignia. I'll go to the Canadian Directory of History tomorrow and try to sort this out. It is quite interesting and I'm impressed at the level of knowledge that you have on these things.
