Question London Regiment Question-Red Backing

Question:
I building a badge collection for the London
Regiment. I’ve noticed some have a Red “felt”
Backing associated with them. Is there a consensus
on which battalions had the backing? Where they
Just those affiliated with the KRRC?

Thank you in advance and I appreciate this forum very much.
Todd

Queen Victoria's Rifles
Queens Westminster Rifles
The Rangers was affiliated to KRRC but was then moved to the Rifle Brigade
Queens Royal Rifles

All these had a red felt backing.

Forgot one.
1st Cadet Battalion KRRC.

The backing to the QVR and QRR is the same shape as the KRRC backing.
The Rangers backing was cut in at the sides,smiley face arc at the bottom and over arched at the top.
