Default Fusilier cap badge ?

Gentlemen
I’m not sure about this one, it looks to have a WW2 style finish?
Can anybody help me with the Regiment and era?
The lugs look like they are substantially made again it looks like Birks construction because of the grey appearance of the solder?
Kind regards Chay

This the cap badge for the Montreal-based Fusiliers Mont-Royal, a commonly found badge,could have been made by William Scully at one time. Worn from the 1930s to mid-1950s.

Thank you Jo,
Yes indeed the finish looks post WW1 but the lugs look old so that fits in. Thank you information on Regiment.
Kind regards Chay
