Possibly the Army Gymnastic Staff, the mob before the APTC.

I noticed the reference number written on the display but was wondering if there could have been an 'overlap' between AGS and APTS ?

The display showed VR button > GvR button > G.S button , was there an Edward VII one ?

George V reigned from May 1910 so which button would have been worn before the APTS title was introduced in 1920 ?

I'm just curious if the GvR button could have been introduced for AGS and then initially used when they were renamed APTS.
