You may well be right there about the badge with loops and bladed St George. Early belt plate badge would make sense if they had them in the early 1960's.

Memory may be at fault, but I think earlier stable belt badges had the round wire type loops.
As far as I'm aware the regiments of the Fusilier Brigade kept their regimental stable belts with leather strap fastenings, the rose and primrose Lancashire Fusiliers belt being adopted as the RRF one but with brass belt plate with anod al badge instead of strap fittings. The LF strap fitted belts continued in wear in RRF by those who owned them, alongside the new belts.
I can't see the clutch pinned badge being worn on the beret, doesn't seem practical, particularly with a hackle.
