Exclamation ST or TS monogram

I found this badge among a small collection of British Army cap badges which I accumulated as a schoolboy in the 1960s. I have never been able to identify it. It has a slider and seems to have been cut out of an approx. 2mm thick flat brass plate. The letter forms are unusually plain for a military badge and the execution is rather crude and uneven. It has been suggested that S and T could possibly stand for Supply and Transport. Can anyone make a positive identification?

The context of the suggestion was the Indian Army under British rule.

That would be the Supply and Transport Corps then. I think it's safe to say that, in my opinion, that badge has nothing at all to do with the STC.

I would not think this is military. Possibly a town tram company or local transport company of some sort.
Cheers,
Alex
