The larger badge is certainly a shabraque. The two smaller stars are of the post war pattern originally used on Officers Mess Dress (where other ranks wear a silver wire shamrock).
However, because these stars are smaller than the official 'officers wire cap badges' the mess dress stars were a popular alternative.
Another case of Officers being 'gucci' with kit and not following rules.
