I was wondering if anyone knew the number of different peaked caps worn by the Irish Guards?

The only Irish Guards cap I have in my collection - brass binding to the peak, leather strap, anodised badge & buttons:

The Grenadier one that I have has the appropriate badge (which was'nt on it when I got it) & two bands of peak binding for the rank written inside - Lance Sergeant, but there's the impression of a 3rd band which was clipped on the peak at some point & removed.
On another forum I asked if this would be done for convenience rather than issue a new cap, I think that it was Coldstream who sid it was a case of new peaks being issued, not old ones adapted. |

And my Welsh Guards Musician's cap, showing the strip of gold braid rather than metal binding to the peak, an nice old cap it has anodised buttons, leather strap & peak & the anodised badge was added by me.
