Unidentified Georgian Military Buttons.

I have a pair of buttons that have GPR below a Crown and have an R. Bushby makers mark that dates them to 1806-1824. I believe them to be military, but I can`t find GPR anywhere, any ideas ??

GPR : George , Prince Regent

From a 2008 Auction of "BUTTONS FROM THE J.R. GAUNT AND SON PATTERN BOOK ARCHIVE".

George, Prince Regent, a very rare packet containing 23 small gilt buttons with outer attached small and large examples of the same. The crown over ‘GPR’ on lined ground within a circle of raised bezants, all with maker’s mark of ‘Charles Jennens London’ (plus the Prince of Wales’s crest).

Thanks Mike,
So not military as I thought, I would never have found that in a month of Sundays.
Cheers, Martin.
