John,
the wings(?) do not look right and also my books (Brian Davis & Mil Collectables J. Lyndhurst) show the badge as being all red? Perhaps it is a later pattern? I Know Blue and Red are the Guards colours?  Andy

I have to say I never saw an example like that being worn! But that means nothing really....
See my edit for my Embroidered 1993 example as worn by me.
