I hadn't explored the New York Public Library digi-collection further than a quick search on "badge", I'll have to check specific units, it looks to be a very interesting site.
Gallagher presumably stuck with a limit of 48 cards to their series, hence the regiments missing (then again Players managed sets of cards comprising far more than 48).
The Gallagher's set were copied by another company in more recent times, I don't know if the regiments were updated or whether the "new" set was a straight copy. I'm not sure if I've got the later set.
Edit: I have got the later set, or rather, most of it.
Army Badges Past And Present, a series of 25 by "Phillips Choice Tea" (I'm missing number 21). There are a few units such as REME which don't appear in the Gallagher set, some of the badges shown have St Edwards Crown, some,eg The Buffs, show a different pattern to the "ribbon".
A few quick photos:
