As an aside the 23rd London regiment was converted from 42 RTR in 1956 and then amalgamated in 1961 to become the Queen's Royal Surrey Regiment.

A mint-condition 23rd's cap badge is very, very common so they must have had a large number in stock in 1961, which were subsequently sold off, or these were produced for the collectors' market at a later date.
