Default Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment cloth badge

I have been shown this badge which is apparently one of a series worn unofficially by the Regiment. Can anyone explain the significance of what looks like a badger's head on this example?

Jon,

Close Observation Platoon COP. - usually dug in and watching. Most of the rest of the PWRR helmet badges to be worn only on operations are here.
