Default Help please to identify XV formation badge

Dear All,

I picked these up a couple of days ago.I can identify the top badge as the 48th ( South Midland) Infantry Division.Can someone please help with identifying the XV badge below. Unfortunately it looks like AOS stripes have been removed which may have helped. I may be looking to sell them if not my area of collecting.
Many thanks
fred

I have the East Yorks as the 15th Foot.

Default Cancel my last (as they used to say)

Marc,
Correct - I knew I should have checked. This must have been worn by an individual member of the East Yorks since none of that Regiment's battalions served in 48 Inf Div. The wearer could have been serving in Div HQ.
