I would like to get some opinions on the helmet plate below, which sold on eBay this week.
It raises some questions for me, the unusual construction and it being marked on the back with this same mark, but I also wondered if anyone knows why the battalion changed their Victorian pattern centre of the three tigers to the regular battalion pattern with a change to the Hindoostan scroll and is this documented ?

Unfortunately there was no photo of the rear of the helmet plate centre in the listing and wondered if anyone had one and is that marked too ?
