Thanks for this extra information. It suggests that there are quite a number of variations on the 60th/KRRC theme to look out for.

Lincolnshire Regt cap badge question

When was the Lincolns cap badge (male Sphinx/Egypt/LINCOLNSHIRE) approved/sealed? No date is given in Kipling & King vol.1 or 2, despite a lot of other regiments' badges being dated.
