There are many different versions of bed plates, some with badges mounted rather than brazed on them or the design stamped on the plate. I have a Royal Engineers WWII one of cardboard in a tin frame.
Interestingly this Grenadier Guards one has a removable "proper" cap badge (cap "star") fitted.
In 1920 the Grenadier Guards were allocated the service number block 2604001 - 2646000, a different system of numbering unrelated to a regiment or corps was adopted during WWII.
