It's just a plain fouled admiralty pattern anchor with a rope surround, the other type of generic Merchant Navy button is a nautical crown superimposed over an admiralty anchor within a rope surround. Of course many merchant shipping companies had their own design of company button.

Do you mean the Merchant Navy Petty officer's button?

Hi Terry, This particular cap tally is for TS Wakeful NTC, a unit based in Cowplain, near Waterlooville in Hampshire (about 9 miles from Portsmouth), Unfortunately the unit is no longer in existence.
