Default Unknown Cloth Regimental Arm Badges For ID Please

Can anyone positively ID the regimental arm badges pictured below. If it helps they were acquired with the other cloth badges that I am offering for sale today. They are made from three three smaller pieces of felt that have been machined together. The colours are black/red/green, not sure which way way round they are supposed to be worn. The colours suggest to me KRRC or a Light Infantry Regiment.
Will be offered for sale once identified.

Thanks in advance

Paul

Its an avenue to follow, thank you, although they don't tie in with anything else in the lot.

My book Badges on Battle Dress shows as badge 624 an identical example recorded as worn by the 15th Bn of The Queen's Royal Regt (W Surreys)whilst serving with the 77th Division.

Perfect, thank you Jon !

They were acquired with a selection of WW2 insignia including a pair of WW2 black on khaki "Queen's" slip on titles. Assume they must have been originally owned/worn by the same soldier.

Definitely not Rhodesia Regiment . Whilst the right colors, they are the totally wrong design of badge. The RR wore a square set, with the corners at NSEW. Black was to the west green to east with red stripe(s) running N-S
