The blacking of WM cap badges was not a particularly common practice at all. Off the top of my head I can only think of the 9th and 16th Bns London Regiment found in this finish.
Blackenrd GM (or Brass) is far more common, so much so it has its own abbreviation BB whereas BWM is seldom seen or used.
My gut says such an oddity of a Blackened WM cap badge might have attracted such comment in some/any of the literature?
