The 8th Hussars were still wearing kings crown badges on amalgamation. The Q/C badge is modern especially with that maker's mark.

As Alan says the QC has been discussed previously. Only officers appear to have worn a QC version of this badge.

Re the KC badge personally I’d go for one with a braze hole behind the crown but as this badge was worn right up to the 1950s it isn’t necessary, so yours may be genuine but I couldn’t say for certain. For peace of mind and to be absolutely sure I’d replace it for one with a braze hole if it was mine.
