Stephen,
Your reference to Lancashire Hussars and metal titles " as late as 1957" is most interesting, unless I have misunderstood.
Inside the programme for the Freedom of the Borough of Crosby which I acquired last year is a letter tipped in which is in response to a request for an example of the arm badge worn on the left sleeve of their battledress blouses by the successor unit to the Lancashire Hussars.
According to the letter the arm badge was introduced in 1953 and by this time I believe cloth Royal Artillery shoulder titles were being worn by the unit .
I think the DLOY wore metal titles well after the Hussars became Artillery.
