There is also an issue with fleeces. Depends on the breed of sheep used to model for the die. There is some consternation, anecdotal, that the colonel of the regiment was unhappy withe the breed being a Sussex variety from the neighbouring county, Surrey having no native breed, and having later lambs based on a Derby tup. Apparently the Kings used the original horse of their colonel, a picture hanging in the officers mess hence continuity in shape and form.
