The Bushveld Carbineers normally simply wore BVC to the best of my knowledge, a cast BC would be rather odd, subsequently the Pietersberg Light Horse wore PLH, but, again, a cast example would be strange, what are the two fittings on the reverse?

Evidently someone had excavated a couple of these titles from a dump behind a building which had been used by the Carbineers in the Boer War. I like the story ( but then I would, wouldn't I ?). What do you think ?
