Default Leicestershire regiment cap badge: backing?

Here comes a coloured sidecap badged to the Leicestershire Regiment: is there any peculiar meaning of the red cloth badge backing? Related to one of the battalions? Thank you in advance for your help!

Default Leics Regt badge backing

Hi,

In 1948 a WO survey of Dress & Embellishements revealed no information about a badge backing having been worn by the Leicestershire Regt at that time.
The Regiment applied for authority to wear a badge backing.
15.08.50. The WO Dress Committee recorded that no previous authority could be found so authorisation was granted for a green badge backing.

Stephen.
