Keith makes a good point. To understand the VB badges then you need to appreciate the types of headgear in use.
Whilst the VBs could follow the Regular battalion practices; often they did vary and continued to wear older pattern hats. Some VB battalions did retain an affinity for the slouch hat, that had enjoyed brief popularity after the Boer War, until (and beyond) the formation of the TF.
When the Regulars moved to brodrick hats, many retained side caps. These often used collar badges or no badges at all.
Some regts did adopt the new peaked caps in 1908 and full sized cap badges were worn. However this was not universal and not all VBs needed such badges. This coincided with the 1905 awarding of South Africa battlehonours which, in the case of the Warwick VB and others, may have been an additional spur to create a new cap badge.
In this case I suspect that both variations of Cornwall VB are, like the Dorset VB badges, a product of fakers' imagination. The Dorsets wore side caps with the circular 16 number badge on them. It was not until the TF that the blank scrolled full sied badge is found.
