Default Rangoon Port Defence Volunteers

Does anyone have any of the insignia worn by the Rangoon Port Defence Volunteers that they would be happy to post pictures of on the forum? I am struggling to find any examples anywhere on line so I guess that they must be scarce.

They seem to have had two distinct Companies which were, unsurprisingly, based in Rangoon. The Artillery Companies, note the plural, were raised on the 20th October 1879, with the motto, "Repose and Defence".

The second Company was the Electrical Engineer Company, earlier (1906), referred to as the Electric Engineers Volunteer Company.

The regiment, with both Companies, appears in the 1917 Army List but fails to warrant a mention in Cox's Military Badges of the British Empire 1914-18.

Any information at all would be welcome.
