No.... this particular Motto type, often referred to as the "No ears" (there are two types) is a hard one to pin down. This is the first "bronzed", of its type, I have ever seen.... and like the "SILVER" version is a rare one. The white metal is quite common and found with a tapered, straight (with and without crimp) slider.
The book “Regimental Badges” by Major T J Edwards contains a line drawing of this particular Motto on page 83 of his first edition book and has it listed as the badge of the 17th/21st Lancers. The first edition was produced in 1951.
