Just to confuse things further the only other Kings Royal Rifle(s) without Corps in the title I have are those to the 1st Cadet Battalion both in KC & QVC but I also have a QVC nickel cord boss badge with it!
I think they are FSC badges Keith. As you say collars were not worn by KRR, but when FSCs were introduced almost all regiments used them as the badge (although most LI and Fusilier Regts used bugles and grenades from STs), until larger badges were designed.
