Interestingly, they were in the same Division as the 2/3rd Londons at Gallipoli. I wonder if there was some conscious mimicry on the part of the 2/3rd Londons. The 2nd Bn. RF patch is described as worn centrally on the back in Infantry Divisions, Identification Schemes, 1917, By Mike Hibberd
Given the descriptions, I think it seems more likely to be the 2/3rd Londons.
Did the London Regt. RF officers wear a small 'T' on the lapel? I don't remember seeing it in pictures.

Chris,
You can just about make out the 'T' in this picture:
Cheers,
