Default W.W.1 Canadian Momento, (Ashtray)

Hi have had this a while and obvious its Canadian but is missing something, am hoping one is with yourselves so I can compare and see just what is missing?

Item is Heavy Bronze, to the rear makers mark :- A.R. - Depose - No256, this is very well made and can Imagine a Company / Regimental badge being fixed to where there is a hole? Am guessing so would love your help to ascertain just what? was there? Many thanks Billy
