Default Sultan of Brunei's Reserve Gurkha Unit

Hi there, Not sure if this is the right section to ask this? But does anyone know and have an image of the type of badge worn on the beret and on the Gurkha hat by the Sultan of Brunei's Gurkha Reserve Unit? There are pictures online, but I cant enlarge them enough to see the badge clearly. I do have a cloth badge worn on the arm and have seen, in the Gurkha museum in Winchester, a Kilmarnock pill box cap with a Sultan of Brunei's armed forces badge on it, but not sure if it was attributed to the Gurkha Reserve Unit? Anyone able to help?

Regards

Tony

Hindus protecting strict Muslims is sort of ironic.
