I can't help with dates other than to say that "official" dates will presumably not tally with actual dates worn.
In 1979 I was in a unit which included a Life Guards Trooper, he had a brass Household Cavalry badge on his forage cap. He said that although anod. al. were issued, private purchase brass had to be bought and worn.

The Household Cavalry gold anodised cap badge K&K1881 version with two lugs was sealed on 22 August 1962. This followed a decision by the War Office Dress Committee on 12 January 1961 to approve "twin loops and split pin to replace the single shank currently in use".
