The Hyderabad State Forces were, I'm pretty sure, the largest such contingent and included infantry, cavalry, engineers and a transport corps and maybe even some gunners and a camel unit.
Pity that the common factor in all the bdges is the less-than-lovely crown/hat/truban at the top of the badges. But it does make them easier to I.D. And this one must be fairly rare!
