I think that this particular example appears to be perhaps older.

I believe these are the same POW plumes on this SH spelling Welsh Regiment.

The jewel sequence in the coronet looks identical in terms of shape and orientation. Also the raised die flaw on the right hand feather near its outer edge.
Could the die have been in use for +30 years... not impossible. Like you my feelings are that it is a far earlier badge than 1950s.
When it comes to Yeomanry and their badges nothing frankly surprises me.
