I believe Cambridge Univ OTC Arty Section may also have worn both the full size as well as the beret badge in wm. Also the unit are thought to have worn wm collars in OR and Offr sizes.
Hi Revdougal - seems like a silver Queens Crown Royal Artillery badge is quite valid and as such could well have been produced in anodised aluminium.

Many Thanks for your input here.

Chris
