I've only just remembered, I have seen a photo of an ACF Lt Col (badged to a different regiment) wearing an OR's pattern buckled chinstrap on his forage cap.

A black beret? That would be 1st or 4th Battalion then?
Or is the beret dark blue.

I have only a few officers bullion badges, probably 6 or 7 more still fitted to caps & berets (a fair few more if you count German WWII collar patches & shoulder straps).

This just about counts as an officers bullion badge?
a lovely badge
