There are those who would argue that photo evidence is empirical with regard to what was approved to be worn, but I still tend towards a "photo shop opportunity" when it comes to these type of photos. I can't imagine bullion wire collar badges would be worn with KD as they would be ruined with a couple of washings. Note the civilian small brass four hole buttons as often seen on hunt coat lining pockets, trouser fly etc.
