Owen's book has this as a Cape Police pouch badge pre 1902 ( Owen 352). I guess that the victorian crowns make it 'pre 1902'. It's rather wide to be anything other than a pouch badge. I have only ever seen one , which I sold to another forum member in a weak moment . I dont remember whether the one I had had lugs or screw fastenings. Its an attractive badge and well worth having.
Regards
mike

The current issue Adjudant Generals Corps of the British army has three crowns in its badge!
