Sorry missed this. The one I pictured above in post #21 is actually for sale on David Smith’s website British Army Badges.
Having checked the back of the badge, which I admit I didn’t before as it looked exactly like a GG, it actually has 3 screw posts so is very likely a pouch badge!
Afraid I don’t have any literature reference photos of the badge itself. But, being a single Coy of a V.B. it’s perhaps not surprising. Don’t believe it’s even mentioned in E J Martin’s 1930s MHS article on ‘The Cyclist Battalions And Their Badges 1888-1921’.
Edit: my apologies to CAM for taking this thread so far off topic.
