Default Lancaster collar?

I was at a gunshow yesterday and managed to acquire these 2 badges (plus a few more Canadian ones). They were in the same box but I don't know if they belong together. Is that a Lancaster rose and does it belong with the york and lancaster cap badge.

Hi Jim
I think that is an East Lancashire Collar, here are some pictures of York & Lancs collars.

Cheers

The rose is part of a shoulder title of the Coldstream Guards, hence the spade lugs.
