On the Grenadier Guards badge it looks as though the word was removed from the die. Leaving only JR Gaunt

Could it have been done during a Gaunt transition from London to Birmingham?? Or is there another reason??

Thanks

Interesting - not seen that before.

Note that LONDON is still on the body of the 9th/12th Lancers badge.
