Default 17th Lancers Motto

I'd like to add a WW2 or earlier 17th Lancers Motto to my collection, but keeping track of all the nuances has been really challenging for me.

Is the Motto below original and, if so, what era?

Thanks

All you ever wanted to know about motto variants. Match your badge to one of these and you should get a date.
