Hi Ben,
Thank you for your input - the deciphered letters and number "1" make sense. I did search about the web/googling and came up with some pictures of insignia from that unit. Unfortunately, nothing that looks like these and they were in gilding metal not silver/white metal - also with the ducal crown as opposed to the fuller crown here. Possibly, if it is "1st Duke Of Manchester’s Light Horse Volunteer Cavalry," these are from another time period.
With any luck, there are other examples of these pieces - or photos/illustrations or descriptions in regulations that will give us "proof positive." All inputs are welcome and are helping to steer us onto the eventual right track.
all the best,
Tim
