I think you are asking if the Royal Irish Regiment (18th) wore the same title "R.I.R." as the Royal Irish Rifles if so the answer is no.
The abbreviated title for the Royal Irish Regiment (18th) was 'R. Irish". The Royal Irish Rifles title "R.I.R" was not included in this program as I assume it was already considered abbreviated enough.
Remember that 'R.I." was in use for certain ranks of the Royal Irish regiment.
Does this answer your query?
