Default 106th Winnipeg Light Infantry-Opposite facing cap badge

For your consideration and comments, please.

Enclosed are images of what I believe to be a cap badge due to it's size (38 mm high X 37 mm wide) for the 106th Winnipeg Light Infantry. However, Mazeas reference MM.278 and MM.279 show the bell of the bugle horn in the opposite position. I have collars than are considerably smaller that this badge. When this badge is laid on the images in Mazeas' reference, it conforms to the same dimensions as the illustrated cap badges (though with opposite orientation of the bell). When laid on the collars, it is noticeably larger.

My question is, is this an omission to Mazeas' generally thorough illustration of Canadian badges of the pre-1920 period, or something else? So is this a cap badge (not referenced) or a greatly over-sized collar badge?

Thank you.

Tim
