Default unknown badge - any ideas?

Would anyone by any chance be able to identify this one?

Any insights welcome!

Jersey Light Infantry, the design was used as cap badge and in mirror pair collar badges.

Edit should've said "Royal".

A version I have an example of, but doubt- I don't think the 'lions' should have manes. Stand to be corrected. Regards, Paul.

The 'lions' are Leopards.

Indeed Marc. Though it gets confusing as I believe they can also be called 3 golden Lions passant guardant. Can anyone enlarge the pictures on the linked site to a size large enough to get a good view - I've tried in the past and find the enlargement not large enough. Any comments on the original badge posted? Regards, Paul.

In days of old I think Leopard and Lion meant the same.
