Bryan, in this particular case it is easy at this time officers did not wear 42 numerals but had St. Andrew at the badge centre.
However with the 2nd Bn it is more difficult especially in the Victorian era, I will be posting examples on that thread soon. The earlier the badge is and the better quality the more likely it is to be private purchase.
