The larger badge on the left looks to have the full set of battle honours but the one on the right looks to have fewer so would pre-date KK674. I doubt you will be able to read some of the smaller battle honours as they are tiny but you should be able to determine the numbers of honours on each arm of the cross.
Hope this helps, regards, Dave

This was the reason the Crossbelt badge was changed back to the 60th of Foot pattern . There were too many battle honours to fit on.
It's hard enough to read them on the large crossbelt let alone the cap badge.
