Default RB and KRRC buttons

I am currently in the process of creating a frame of the Great War ORs large & small buttons to complement a frame of Great War OR badges. Can anybody in the know kindly advise me what patterns of buttons should go with the KRRC and which to the RB?
Many thanks in advance for all assistance

So would it be correct for both regiments to use large and small KC horn buttons? And would strung or ribboned horns affect this?

Here are examples side by side. I do not know if the Rifle Brigade or KRRC (and other Rifle Regiments) wore the strung or ribboned sort or are they manufacturer’s variations.
Over to the button collectors.
