The badge on the left is sometimes described as the 'Edwardian' badge.
The one on the right with the unusual lugs is the 'comon' version, though I've only seen it so far with normal lugs.
The KOSB wore a mixture of Victorian, KC and QC badges, the older the better. Also fretted KOSB badges, both by officers and OR's. I think because most Scottish soldiers tended to wear their great/grand/fathers badges upon enlistment in the same regiment.
