Default Queens own sappers and miners button

Hi All

Can someone please assist with positive ID this button for me, I'm under the impression that it is from an Indian engineer unit, but not 100%, makers are Firmin and Sons Birmingham, cheers Peter.

You can find their lineage at Sappers and Miners

What we see on the button is certainly very much related to their headdress badge.
