Dear Tim,
Thank you for finding the tread.
The manufacturer Charles Pitt closed down in the mid 1970s, long before you joined the Intelligence Corps. They also produced the proper Intelligence Corps.
There are a lot of cross breed buttons around. They could be an early manufacturing mistake, someone using the wrong die etc. It is also possible they were held as useless stock and went to dealers after Pitt closed down.
We need a jacket with these buttons ...
regards,
