Many thanks, The Lancashire Fusiliers being the old 20th Foot makes perfect sense. I did originally check Howard Ripley's Buttons of the British Army and saw that the Lancashire Fusiliers' mess dress button depicts a sphinx inside a wreath. I wrongly assumed that the button used on the peaked cap would be similar.
