It may be that the officers only of these corps wore special badges, the other ranks wearing just the normal badge with VOLUNTEERS/QUO FAS ET GLORIA DUCUNT.
I have seen your work previously in regard to Australian infantry.

Thanks again for all this additional information. For my goal I prefer other ranks badges, thus I will leave that for the genuine collectors
. But I will take note of this information so when I stumble into a picture of one I will understand what it is.
