Not sure about this one. It's not the same as the one in Ashok's book nor indeed is it a variant that's illustrated in the Museum's book on the insignia of the 4GR. That doesn't necessarily mean its a repro - ( although this badge has been widely reproduced ) - the design was worn by all ranks from 1900> 1947 - so there would have been a lot produced over that time - and I'm sure there would have been variants that have not been recorded - but almost all of the genuine examples I've seen have the square lug construction as seen in these photos.
Worthy of further research though. Tim
