There was apparently no absolute rule that badges with older crowns had to be replaced. Soldiers ( or officers in this case) that still had uniform items with the older crown could still be worn many years later, although twenty years is a bit surprising.
You can bet your bottom dollar (or Pound) that there were some men in the trenches still sporting QVC badges.
