They are not backing colours for a badge.
In my time with the regiment up to 1961 they were worn on the epaulettes by all ranks of 3/4 CLY. I still retain mine. The colours are the Earl Of Dunraven's racing colours. The Earl was the first Colonel of the Sharpshooters. http://www.ksymuseum.org.uk/Stories/ViewStory/44?page=2 PeterA PS. The colours were also those used on the regimental Stable Belt.
