Default Guess What Badges Used to be on These??

Hello,

Here are a brown leather Pouch Belt and Pouch, both missing their badges, but having left an intriguing imprint.

The Crown isnt a QVC, but perhaps a styalised type, or those flat topped types found about 1900 or even a KC.

The Pouch Belt has white metal fittings and a Lions Head, 3 chains and whistle adornment.

The Pouch badge is 3" tall and the pouch badge 1 3/4" tall both witha distinctive elongated neck on them.

I am thinking of two options.

1. Volunteers of a British Infantry Bn, still dressed as Rifles, with brown acroutrements and silver fittings.

2. Indian Army, Gurkhas.

I may be completely wrong and any suggestions gratefully received.

regards
