perhaps other rank's cap?
Yes, you are probably wright.
the uniforms of the HAC -infantry company were very similar to the Grenadier guards. The only think is that the cap seems very well made for an other rank and it seems to be guilted metal (perhaps NCO?).
The guards had a badge on their pillbox caps, but I can't find a picture showing a HAC soldier wearing this cap!
I've added a photo of a pioneer lance-sergeant of the coldstream guards.
