Its not in the bible on the subject, Buttons of the Royal Artillery" by Norman Litchfield.
Very similar buttons are in there to the regular artillery dating from the period c. 1785 - 1802.
A very similar one states, ..... These buttons were worn at a later date by some of the HEIC Artillery units before specific buttons were introduced for the Bengal, Bombay & Mdras Foot and Horse Artilleries.
