Default POW feathers collar badges

Hi Forum members,
Here are three POW feathers collar badges for your comments please.
Can they be positively identified?
The first is bronze, the middle one has a faint J R GAUNT LONDON mark.
Are the first two for the Wiltshire Yeomanry?
Thanks, Tinto

The last one looks like a cavalry one, 3rd Dragoon Guards, although 12th Lancers and 10th Hussars all had the same.

Hi Drmiggy,
Thanks for your comments.
I thought those cavalry collars you mentioned were larger?
Cheers, Tinto

The centre one looks like the Lancashire Rgt PWV ,amalgam of South and East Lancs 58-70. Slightly narrower with tight angled scrolls.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mike.
This centre badge has distinct gaps between the plumes, right down to the top of the coronet.
Cheers, Tinto

Hi again Mike,
Following your suggestion, I referred to Edward's "Regimental Badges" 1963 edition, to find this page. It has a pen drawing of a different pattern POWs plumes. Do you think mine might be an officer's variation?

Re the centre badge above:

I have found a possibility in Churchill's book, "Infantry Collar Badges", West Yorkshire Regiment, page 76, Fig.464, "distinctive pattern for wear on Officer's No.1 Dress".

Can anyone confirm please?

Thanks, Tinto
