How do you know the frock is Victorian? Even if it has a label dating it or buttons with the QVC, collars are sometimes replaced due to wear, and buttons with the QVC were still worn years after the official change in crowns.
Additionally, officer badges in particular were under no definite regulations with regard to fixtures and their placement.
