Pembroke Yeomanry buttons

[3dg]

Hello
Would it be possible please for someone to list the variations of Pembroke Yeomanry buttons from early years to present day. Any any photos would be great.

Your help and time, as always, is greatly appreciated

In his book on Yeomanry Buttons Howard Ripley illustrates just 4 different patterns covering the period 1830s to the 1960s.

The first pattern was that originally used by the Castlemartin Yeomanry but was still specified for officers of the Pembroke Yeomanry in the 1905 Dress Regulations - initials 'CYC' within a wreath below a crown. Found in silver and bronze.

Second pattern is that illustrated by Jonathan for the Pembroke Imperial Yeomanry; found in white metal and bronze.

Third pattern just has the title Pembroke Yeomanry within the circlet, King's crown in centre, in white metal.

Fourth pattern was introduced in the 1960s and is the Prince of Wales's feathers and motto in gold anodised.

Howard also states that between the 1920s and 1960s Royal Artillery buttons were worn.

I'm not aware of any other buttons used but perhaps other members are.

Is there a difference between the anodised prince of Wales feathers Pembroke Yeomanry button, and the Prince of Wales Division button please?
Thank you again
