I have no real knowledge of these regiments but this thread appears to be confusing the Zambia Regiment and it's badges with a different unit, the Zambian Rifles and it's badges.
The Northern Rhodesia Regiment became the Zambia Regiment in 1964, retaining the crane cap badge and buttons.
I don't know if the Zambia Rifles trace their origins to the NRR, I suspect not?
Edit - post no. 6 indicates that the Zambia Rifles origins were from the Royal Rhodesia Regiment.
