the following may be of interest from The Bulletin of The Military Historical Society vol XIX no 76 of May 1969. It allows one to get some idea on the dates of wear of (what I assume are) A/A versions of regimental badges.
From the Honorary Secretary's notes.
Regimental Badges. For those who may have missed the announcement, it was reported in the Press in early March that eight infantry regiments are to resume the use of their regimental cap-badges, in place of the Brigade badges prescribed in 1958. The eight are: Royal Scots, Green Howards, Cheshires, Royal Welsh Fusiliers, King's Own Scottish Borderers, Duke of Wellingtons Regt., Black Watch and Gordon Highlanders...
Although it does not mention the type of badge I assume that from 1969 it was the A/A version of the badge that was issued.
Others may know if the AA version was worn prior to the introduction & adoption of the Brigade badge.
