I have reference to KRRC Cadets winning a shooting competion in Trowbridge in the early 1920's so they were definately KRRC badged. The Trowbridge CLB Detachment joined the Cadet Scheme in about 1912. During WW1 a second Cadet Force Detachment was raised in Trowbridge badged to the 1/4 Wiltshire Regiment.

The CLB had very close ties with the KRRC and had their own affliated Battalion the 16th Service Battalion in which many ex-members served and died. A fellow collector possibly on here refered me to Army Order 128 in 1917 under which the CLB became afliated to the KRRC and had their own version of their cap badge.

Hence unless others are going to correct me late war CLB Cadet Detachments would either be wearing the cadet version of the KRRC Badge or retaining the CLB Cap Badge. Affliation to the KRRC was optional but I am not aware of any other Regimental affliations within the CLB.
