I have found that the Wessex Wyvern badge was also worn by the Army Cadet Force in the 1970s. Also more recently and briefly by the Royal Wessex Yeomanry?
Of more interest there is a civilian (not sponsored by the MOD) Wessex Military Band, a symphonic concert and marching band which wears a military style uniform including wyvern cap and collar badges. Their uniform and badges are presumably privately purchased and perhaps they have sourced cap badges from BEEWYSE?
