I have not been able to find any official documentation for this title (nor do I know anyone else who has) and thus I speculate that it is a regimental design and not an official War Office issue. Several of the Fusilier regiments has regimenatl pattern badges which incorporated a grenade into a one piece badge.
All I know is what Westlake states in his book that it was worn on KD Jackets c 1910 and that it is illustrated as a :shoulder badge for rank & file" in "Crown & Company 2nd Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers 1911 - 1922. So both of this sources suggest post 1910 for this title.
