Phil, I don't have the Victorian badge to compare, but here are two Royal Irish Rifles badges to illustrate the difference. The KC (on the right) is domed with a protruding point, whereas at QVC (on the left) flares out at either side.
That's a great sets of collars too, Danny. The production of a brass collar seems to suggest that there may also be a OSD cap badge. Are you aware of the existence of any such badge?

The form of Victorian crown being referred to isn't the "big eared" Victorian crown, it's the "Jubilee" or "flat topped" crown which resembles the King's crown.

Tthe type of Victorian Crown referred to in post 14 is still not the type that you've illustrated, in case you're unaware.

It's a coronet of Queen Victoria's Imperial type. Not an entirely unreasonable choice for the 'Queen's' university rather than the King's crown worn by most in 1908.

Thanks Leigh and Alan. I wasn't aware of such a crown on cap badges. Are there any other corps or regiments which wore a jubilee/ imperial Victorian crown?

I knew what QVC is versus KC, but thank you for the illustration.
