Hi Mike,
The 4th Bn South Lancs as well as the 4th Bn East Lancs both became part of the Lancashire Regt PoWV in July 1958 but with no title change.
On 1/4/67 they were both disbanded and reconstituted as 1 Coy of the Lancashire Regt PoWV under TAVR ii ending the use of the SLancs And E.Lancs Badges by the TA.
There is a possibility the SLancs badge may have been worn a short while after Apr 1967 by either CCF units of Liverpool Collegiate School-King Williams College IoM or the ACF Farnworth St.Aidans School Widnes before affiliations were changed but I do not know of any dates for these.
I found the attached in an article yesterday from March 1958 which would also confirm the collar badge design albeit awaiting approvals
