sapper is bang on that Conductors, Staff Sergeant Majors and Master Gunners all wore/wear the same coat of arms within a laurel wreath. In SD pattern, as here, the difference only lies in slight differences in coloration of the woven aspects. The maroon colour makes me wonder if this could be a RAMC, or Veterinary badge. Quite a number of specialist corps had SSMs for a time, but I cannot recall the full list of who they were.
