Yes, I can see exactly what you mean, Marc, and you may well be right, although I’ve seen all manner of variations over the years, both in colouration and design. Some small batches made up by obscure workshops in places such as Hong Kong and Singapore (native embroiderers by hand), were made up using cap badges or old drawings for inspiration (some of them Victorian), and with no knowledge of the correct colours to use.
