Well it depends on whether it is Indian-made ie cast or from a UK factory die. If the former then it is a very good match. If the latter, then their remains the possibility that the Bn commissioned badges in UK for FSH wear in India. However with the pressure on badge production in 1915/16 and the distance to India, I would be surprised if this was the case. The abdge is not an official pattern so would be regtly bought and if you were in India why import them from UK when there is war on!
I would be interested to see the reverse of the badge and the slider shape in particular.
