Irish Guards bullion
I'm not sure what these are, I'm guessing the middle is an Officers cap star ?

I am thinking for mounted officers shabraques. The smaller stars appear to be the rank stars for the shabraque in certain orders of dress; whilst the larger one for another order of dress.

However, because these stars are smaller than the official 'officers wire cap badges' the mess dress stars were a popular alternative. Another case of Officers being 'gucci' with kit and not following rules.

As demonstrated here Andy.
Note the flat bottomed shamrock without a stalk. Cheers, Sean
