Cambridgeshire badge on a disc

[Sonofacqms]

I have had this Cambridgeshire Regt badge on a brass disc for some years, the disc measures 67mm across and has small lugs N-S.

The badge is an original and has been attached very professionally, any ideas as to what it's purpose was?

Thanks for looking Rob

Helmet plate centre maybe, band.

Rob, I’m guesstimating that a fixing pin might have passed though the stud holes. The plate then might have been attached onto a strap. Perhaps a uniform strap or horse furniture? Can’t tell how much clearance there is from the plate back to hole bottoms in the studs—that distance should give a idea if a strap or etc. would have enough clearance to pass under a fixing pin.

Best regards,
Jay

Thanks chaps for your thoughts, I don't think it is a helmet plate centre, possibly the lugs could have gone through a thin strap and a pin to hold the item in place, maybe for a bandsman's equipment strap.

Over the years I have studied many Cambridgeshire Regt photos looking for a clue as to the white metal Cambridgeshire Regt badge on the wreath which is supposedly a bandsman's badge without success, this badge has not appeared in any of the photos to my knowledge either.
