The 2nd Lancers (Gardner's Horse) didn't use a '2L' shoulder title and it doesn't seem to be associated with either the Gwalior or Golconda state forces, so probably not Indian, IMHO.

I think that it might have been worn by the Gwalior Lancers.

Why I made my assumption was that there is very similar GI brass title which comes up regularly which is also often associated with ..Gwallor Infantry

I have no idea what this badge is, but the 'GI' title is Red Cross I believe.
