You are correct that, although there was a CSofC cap badge, some affiliate uits encouraged the CSofC ficers to go "Regimental" and wear the same uniform and insignia as the affiliate unit - especially the Militia units. This ensured that in the Mess there was no division and, after the war, many of the CSofC officers were former soldiers.

Hi Cliff
I have the two badges(also the cap without badge) am I right in assuming that they don't signify different era's but same era just different duties or capacities, trades whatever. Ray
