Stephen,
I take it you are referring to the "K.O.M.R." title? From what I know, these were consigned to QM's store and some were made available for private purchase from the Regimental Adjutant (Armed Forces of Malta). As I said, they were authorised, purchased but never issued. They were to have replaced the ealier title in 1971 but as it was decided that the Battalion was to disband on April 1st 1972 they remained unissued. Personally, I class them as Regimental. It was only a political decision that precluded them from seeing the light.
I hope the above answers your query but if not, can you elaborate what you mean by suspect?
