I'm all for units commemorating their forebears, be it cadet units wearing the badge of the Lovat Scouts (no longer the case?), Tankies wearing MG insignia or RRF carrying the oldDrummer's Colours of the NF - good stuff.
The only plaid brooch I've seen by 4 RTR in photos is the one with the yellow Cairngorm centre - any photos of other brooches available?

For the RTR to really commemorate their forebears they should not only be displaying Machine Gun Corps and Tank Corps badges but, as all the original drivers serving with the Heavy Branch MGC were ASC attached to the MGC, remaining so until the formation of the Tank Corps, then for completeness they would display the 1911-1918 pattern ASC badge as well. I won't be holding my breath though.
