Default Gibraltar Defence Force badge queries

Hello
I do hope I'm in the right section.
I have in my collection a nice example of the Gibraltar Defence Force OR's brass badge. My questions are:

Is there a bronze or gilt version for officers?

Were collar badges worn, officers or OR's, if so does anyone have an example or picture?

As above but buttons?

Were there any other badges that were unique to the GDF? ie the red backed yellow key arm badge with AA either side.

Your help and time, as always, is greatly appreciated

Cheers

I have not seen a GM version of the GDF badge so can you post pictures please of front and rear please?
I have what I believe is a bronze badge-better photo tomorrow.

Hello, thanks for reply. Unfortunately due to technical problems I cannot send a photo. If you google Gibraltar Defence Force badge and go on to images, there's plenty of photos front and back, and not dissimilar to mine. Looking at your badge, it doesn't look like coppery brass colour behind, looks silver, almost aluminium?
