Default Berkshire Yeomanry?

Help needed to ID this regiment. Is it passed away or part of the new Yeomanry organisation?

Was the collar badge of 94 (Berkshire Yeomanry) Signal Squadron in 71 (Yeomanry) Signal Regiment.

Not sure about current subordination!

Berkshire and Westminster Dragoons.
The Berkshire Yeo had "Berkshire" in the scroll. They too are found in all gold anodised.

The unit history shows that 94 (Berkshire Yeomanry) have been Royal Signals since 1969 (52 years ago!). The anomaly of Berkshire in the title of the Berkshire and Westminster Dragoons was dropped in 1984.

“The squadron of the Royal Yeomanry Regiment newly formed following the TAVR reorganisation in 1967 and based at Chelsea, London was given the title 'Berkshire and Westminster Dragoons', somewhat anomalously given that the Berkshire Yeomanry element was separated to form 94 (Berkshire Yeomanry) Sqn in 71 (Yeomanry) Signal Regiment, Royal Corps of Signals; the situation was belatedly recognised in 1984 when the 'Berkshire' part of the HQ squadron's title was dropped and it was rebadged accordingly as Westminster Dragoons.”
