Default RASC Officer's Collars

I've been very fortunate to be able to put together these officer's RASC badges. Notwithstanding that I'm searching for a pair of EVIII collars, I now think the GV and GVI collars are the smaller collars with the shortened starburst which were worn only on mess dress. Does anyone have an opinion?
Thanks
Mark

Thanks for the confirmation gents that the top line are all mess dress. I should have looked at your albums though before I asked the question. It's obvious now.

I live in hope that I'll find the EVIIIR collars, but see that you Ken have a mess dress set already in your album. Well done.

I've also put together a Firmin OSD collar/badge set like yours. These were a lot easier to find, but being a right tightwad it took me ages to get them individually as I didn't want to part with too much of the wife's cash.

Thanks again.
Mark
