I note that Churchill/Westlake's book also shows BB bugles which they state were Ox&Bucks LI Service Bns in WW1.

Alan, I believe DLI collars were g/m, not w/m, worn from 1881 (three lugs from c.1910) until replaced by paired smaller versions of the cap badge c.1950.

All the w/m versions worn by the Ox and Bucks on the beret and the bush hat I have seen have three lugs so were presumably made after the Volunteers were wound up.

Have you any more information on the w/m bugles worn on the FSC and by which regiments/battalions?

A useful site and shows the w/m bugle worn on the FSC. There is a picture of the text describing this on the forum.

'Silver Bugle Horn cap badge worn on the Green Field Service Caps 1927-1945, on the Khaki Field Service Cap 1939-1943, Airborne Forces Beret 1942-1946, General Service Cap and Beret 1943-1946'
