5th Mahratta Light Infantry?

[High Wood]

I am struggling to identify this button. The figure 5 and the Light Infantry bugle would suggest Mahratta Light Infantry but I cannot connect them with the P.o.W. feathers. It has been suggested that it might have been worn by the Probyn's Horse, (5th King Edward VII's Own Lancers). They had P.o.W. feathers but why would Lancers have a bugle on their buttons?

Any thought please?

Wow, I was sold a pup as far as my India collection goes. But still a very interesting button.

Many thanks for taking the trouble to look it up for me.
