Default Some items - info needed

Hi all,

I would like to learn more about some of the items below.

1. RASC silver/enamel collars (KC). How common are these? I haven't came across of them before. Any extra info would be great.

2. Who used this kind of lower packing rank pips? Never seen these before or at least paid attention.

Default Eversleigh Stars

Pips at top left and top centre are called Eversleigh Stars and were worn by the Middlesex Regiment and South Wales Borderers.
