Side cap bosses: 5th Mahratta Light and 6 Raj. Rif.?
I have got several Indian regiments officers cap bosses in my collection, but I wish I knew something more about two. One is in red cord and sports a figure of "6", therefore possibly 6th Rajputana Rifles, but I would have thought that s Rifle Green boss would have been more appropriated, in this case, the other has a Light Infantry bugle on it, and so possibly 5th Mahratta Light Infantry, but also in this case, should have the cap boss been green rather than red? Thank you in advance for your knowledge, gentlemen!

Loupie, there were quite a few Indian Regts that had a scarlet boss with white metal bugle - 55th Cokes Rifles, 124th Baluchistran Infantry, 126th Baluchistran Infantry, 127th Baluch Light Infantry, 129th Baluchis - as far as I know they were indistinguishable from each other so unless you know the provenance almost impossible to attribute to a specific Regt.
Not sure about the 6th - never seen one like it - are you sure it's complete? Tim |

Could the one with the 6 be 6GR but missing the crossed kukri?

I don’t think so it’s too central ( if it was 6GR I’d expect it to be slightly off centre ) more importantly it would be on a dark green boss.
