Hi Ian
It appears to be a brass O/R's button which is very unusual for Jennens as they usually (but not always) confined themselves to officers buttons.
It certainly doesn't date from the early 1800's, more likely the later period which you quoted or possibly even later.
What size is the button?

PS.... From memory, there was a thread on the Forum fairly recently about Jennens-made O/R's buttons from the Queens Westminster Rifles (16/London Regt) - also very unusual.
Can't find the thread, unfortunately.
