Why do you keep using the term "spurious"?
Is there any suggestion that the image is "spurious"?
My recollection is that Kipling and King state that the collar badge was worn in the SD cap.
I am not in a position to check K&K at the moment.
If I am wrong, then dreadfully sorry, but if there is plenty of evidence that the full size cap badge was worn in the SD cap, albeit that what officers wore may not reflect what ORs wore then it would be helpful if that information was divulged without having to dance around to-ing and fro-ing between posts.
