Default Leicester OTC badge on ebay
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/386084019...Bk9SR6bn9OLYYg

This is not an OTC badge and as there is not a Leicestershire Cadet Corps listed in any Army list I can find, I suspect this is a Council badge.

The supporters were added after 1926 so that would rule out a VTC badge.

It is with great anticipation I also watch the same sellers BB Durham OTC ending today. The previous one sold for a small fortune.
