Tim, while Mazeas is the first and only comprehensive reference for pre-1914 insignia, it is not without errors and omissions.
Having said that, another reference (Tascona's The Militia of Manitoba) contains two photos showing the 106th badge with the mouthpiece oriented to the left as viewed. The collar badges of the 106th are quite large and could be taken as a cap badge.
Comparing your badge to the conventional representations (eg all the other militia regiments that used the horn as a device) the mouth is oriented to the right. It would appear you have a badge that has the correct representation. But, it is likely a collar.
