So was it elephants for FSH pugarees and ORs coloured No 1 dress peaked caps but crosses for khaki SD and side caps? The dating of these badges has always been sequential but in fact it appears to have overlapped depending on the type of hat worn.

It doesn't state Crosses are worn on SD.
I read it the other way round, on the service dress the collar badges are as the forage cap badge (In silver, the elephant, with a scroll below inscribed "19th (Alexandra P.W.O.) Hussars.") but in bronze, and as they are described as 'in pairs' I suppose they are facing.
Crosses for collars except SD, all else elephants.
