Default 1911 OTC...

I haven't managed to download the full document from Google, like Ticker I can only get a small view. However, from the pages posted on the Forum I am a little sceptical.
Uppingham School certainly had their own collar badges, which were the Liecs Tiger within a wreath above an 'Uppingham' scroll.
Forest School have had an acorn design collar badge attributed to them, not the three seaxes.

The only thought I have at the moment was that in 1911 the OTC were only three years old, prior to which they had mostly been School Corps, some of which were affiliated to the pre-1908 Volunteer battalions of county regiments.

A more authoritative source is in JSAHR Vol XV11 No65 published in the Summer of 1938.
