Thank you kingsley.
The badge top right of the quartet is an excellent candidate for a Boer War era Royal Rifles Reserve Regiment.
Keith Hook tells me the badge was in blackened GM for ORs and blackened WM for officers. So this is what you may have here.
Both pictures below are from KK, I have desaturated one to hopefully show the detail better. The indicative features are the shape of the bugle and that the last band near the mouthpiece is solid rather than dashed as the preceding two.
Just an observation, the same badge may have been worn by the Victoria unit but note they are not the same, the GM badge has a dashed band near the mouthpiece.
