I suspect that Toye Kenning & Spencer used the same die for the silver R.Irish Regt (beret & caubeen) and for the gold UDR badge - potentially the gold one was never worn by the UDR but produced for the R.Irish who carried on wearing it in the green beret.
Firmin definately carried on making UDR anodised badges afrer they had disbanded, so these too were probably for the R.Irish. attached my UDR and R.Irish anodised sets.
