No, you cant correlate the two obviously as there are many anodised buttons made with Kings Crown etc, that never had an anodised badge to go with it.
However, if we think that the 9th Lancers wore the anodised collar with a usual metal cap badge then fine. If anyone can put flesh on those bones it would be interesting. Ditto for the 12L.
My point was - as the suspicion is that the anodised 9L is 'fake' then to go to the lengths of 'faking' a collar is unusual and may tend to make us view the cap badge in a less spurious light.
So are we saying the 9L collars are good? If they are, then that would clear up that question.
