Default Royal Wessex Yeomanry Cap Badge

Sorry for the poor pictures, I have smashed the lens on my phone.
The new Royal Wessex Yeomanry cap badge by Firmins.
Does anyone know if the same badge is used by all ranks?

That is the OR's badge - the Officer's version is gilt and silver with no enamelling. The temporary version - the black & chrome one - is metal.

Thanks for the reply, I always thought it was a type of plastic badge, maybe because if the odd fittings on the back.
