Hi Milmed. Sorry no one else has replied to your query before now - I've only just seen it myself. Re your Ordnance Corps set, I'm pretty sure the collars you have came into use in 1907 when the large cap badge was replaced by the smaller one. The collars you should have are the same as the later cap badge with 'Army Ordnance Corps' scroll, but lugged and left and right facing. If that's incorrect, hopefully someone with more knowledge will comment. I'm sure I read that the right facing ones are extremely rare ('hen's teeth' I think was the phrase used) but I can't find the thread on here - maybe I read it somewhere else. The only right facing one I have is the cobbled together one on the left - probably for a display, and probably cobbled together for that very reason. Best regards, Mike.
