They did have VBs, but they did not change their title to show that. Their function was being a volunteer battalion of the KRRC. While in most regiments, most of their volunteer battalions changed their designation from RVC to VB between 1881 and 1888, not all did.
See

and for the dates of the redesignations:

And because after the original liasion of the RVCs in 1881 there were some transfers in later years, see also:

I seem to have the same date, but my source may be the same as your's, thus that does not prove much
