Couple of suggestions for consideration.
Egypt (battle honour)
"It was awarded to British units with the badge of the Sphinx and initially to Indian units simply as Egypt. Later, the badge of the Sphinx was taken into use by Indian units also."
Possible Indian connection ?

One confusing bit is English letters (or possibly Roman numerals) are included , could these refer to a specific military unit ?

Saw a badge of the 2nd Volunteer Battalion Licolnshire Regiment , 2nd VOLr BATTn on plinth (and Lincolnshire on scroll underneath) .
I know this is different to badge shown but could it possibly be for another Volunteer unit ?
