Default King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry Plastic Collar Badges

Yesterday's C&T Badge Auction featured a nice matching pair of plastic collar badges to the KOYLI which I think may be uncommon. Please correct me if I'm wrong! They sold for £45 on the hammer

I managed to find a reference to them in a November 1946 Amendment to the KOYLI Regimental Dress Regulations published in September 1946 and an extract is attached.

Apparently obsolete by 28.02.55. List of Changes 6441 introduced anodised collar badges. I can find no previous entry in LoC, or Dress Committee Minutes for their introduction post-war.
