I will try to help with these.....the cap badge with (M.G.) was probably the first pattern,starting in 1936 by the amalgamation of the Cumberland Highlanders, The Colchester and Hants Rifles, and 'C' Company, 6th Machine-Gun Battalion.
Then,I suppose there was a change in the title when the Bn. lost their MG status (HIGH'RS) and finally I presume the last pattern was adopted during the war when the Bn.was regular infantry.....
