I have touched on this subject before, but I do not subscribe to the long slider=pagri theory in most cases. Various pagri flashes were most commonly worn throughout the army by the early 20th century, and photo evidence of what are often termed pagri badges due to their sliders are in most cases non existant.
There are of course some particular instances wherein this a given as they are known pagri badges, but I think most are just long sliders from an early period. Nothing more.
