Question Light Infantry badges

I am currently re-carding my Ox & Bucks L.I. and wonder whether these badges fit into this category

First badge a bullion bugle.

Second badge a white metal bugle, the loops are black.

Many thanks for your thoughts.

Rob

Based on the premise that all OBLI bugles are corded, neither of these two would be OBLI.

The first one is a Light Infantry Bugler's arm badge worn anytime from approx. 1958 until circa 2007, the second one , although I don't know what it is, is considerably earlier

Just went through Churchill's, couldn't see a match. A couple of close, but no coconuts.
Closest in design was a KSLI but with the KSLI lettering and in gilding metal.
