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?

Agreed, it just seems that if a Volunteer unit's wearing a badge in white metal and then as TF adopts the same badge but blackened it would be simple and economical to paint the white metal badges black.
