I assume that is actually a collar badge that has been ruined, was it expensive?
I cannot imagine that David himself would have had it altered, but, it may well have ended up in his possession at some point.

Leinster Regiment OSD badge, however the rear loops have been removed and a slider has been added then the badge has been refinished. An interesting modification.
I think if this was to pop up on eBay there would be many questions about it, however this particular badge belonged to the commander in chief of the regiment, the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII), as evident by the label and the 1997 catalogue of the sale mentions 3 bronze badges with sliders.
Interesting if anything!
