According to Churchill 1617 it may be a DLI or Sherwood Rangers collar. The DLI ones are 28mm high, the Sherwood Rangers slightly larger at 30mm.
Thats just not correct.

'Generic' = not specific, and thats just what many types of strung bugles were.

Used by many regiments, Corps and Battalions both on collars, caps and other items of equipment.

The headress shown above illustrates that fact precisely.
