Default North Durban Regiment Cap Buttons Question.

I have this cap, is the cap badge correct for it please?

Instead of chinstrap buttons it is fitted with small round, flat metal plates which have blades which pierce the fabric and fold back to clamp them in place.
Are these metal plates the backs of damaged proper army "buttons" or are they just some incorrect paper clip type fittings that have been attached by a collector or dealer please?
