IIRC, officers in most of the London battalions with KRRC-style badges also wore regimental collar dogs. The KRRC did not.
Dress regulations should also have them wearing the "T" for TF I guess.
Another thought is that the shape of the mark resembles a "C" - could this be 1st Cadet Battalion KRRC? But then why would the officer have a pair up? And a Gor Blimey cap?
Perhaps memories of the KRRC 1st Cadet MG Section Tuck postcard below are distracting me.
What is the cannon anyway?

Yes the London's wore collar badges, the KRR and RB did not, and until 1916, most London's wore the 'T'.
It's not a cannon but a Maxim MMG on a wheeled carriage.
