I never doubted you Peter. The fact remains it was official RB policy, along with KRR not to wear collar badges but to wear shoulder titles. As the images I have posted show, most officers followed that line. That there were some battalions that behaved differently is also clear and the Service battalions of all regiments were notorious for doing things in their own way. Indeed ORs of many Service battalions wore collar badges intended for full dress on their SD even though it was expressly forbidden by clothing regulations.
