2.3 1/16" x 1.7/8" imperial measurement. Coat tail ornament or hat badge? Crimean hat badges I have seen do not have the sunburst behind St. Andrew's head. Am i correct to assume this is pre 1855?

Fenton's pictures of the 42nd officers in the Crimea shows the forage caps with a bullion badge but no idea about the sunburst. Hutchison's Crimean Memories shows an example of the the badge sans sunburst
