My understanding from all reference material is that the Coldstream Guards version of this design of insignia is all in white metal, Andy, whereas for the Royal Horse Guards version the garter part is gilded.

Looking at the illustrations from the dress regulations of 1900 and 1904, both, the Life Guards and the Royal Horse Guards garter stars clearly show the apostrophe.
