So one wonders if there’s a similar badge (pouch?) for the 2nd V.B. East Yorkshire Regiment? An interesting thought.
… hopefully I’m not giving the repro merchants any ideas!!!
Edit: I’ve just followed the link in the OP where in post #5 Deejayuu shows lovely collar badge that was apparently also worn also on the FSC.
Link to badge worn in the FSC by H (Cyclist) Coy:

Officer's pouch belt plates, 1900, 1st VB silver French bugle horn, 2nd VB silver bugle horn, strung, surmounted by Victorian Crown.
In 1892 2nd VB sergeants were wearing “a bugle horn surmounted by the Victorian Crown in white metal on a red felt background”.
