There are far too many of these buttons around.

The National Archives holds records of the Neath Pontardawe and Brynamman Railway from 1842-1902.
The railway is mentioned in this article:

I am sure Mr. Froggatt found provenance for the button listed in his book. Quoting: "Uniform buttons in brass which bore script NPB lettering had nevertheless been produced for the company's staff."
My guess is that he took the information from an old collection or from correspondence. My suggestion: forget about it.

From Wikipedia: "National Provincial Bank was a British retail bank which operated in England and Wales from 1833 until 1970 when it was merged into the National Westminster Bank"
