Default WW1 era UOTC with Light Infantry cap badge?

I would be most grateful if anyone can advise which University OTCs - if any - wore a Light Infantry 'bugle' cap badge, during WW1 and interwar years.

Any information appreciated!

Thank you Tony for this one!

I understand that Durham did not use DLI-type badge, as considered part of Northumberland UOTC. Do you know by any chance know if this is correct?

1. Oxford OTC in the Senior Division as mentioned

2. Ellesmere College in the Junior Division used a KSLI style design.

3. Durham College wore the 6th Bn DLI bugle in blackened brass.

4. Cheltenham OTC has a bugle in the design with OTC inset..

5. Merchant Taylors Great Crosby wore the 6th Kings bugle with a rose over it.

Basically trying to figure out identity of the below combination of cap badge and shoulder title. Unfortunately, the images are not 100% clear, but lower part of shoulder title seems to be "University" (rather than "college" or "school"). Would this narrow it down conclusively to Oxford UOTC?

The bugle in the image looks like an Ox and Bucks style bugle horn. The would fit with Oxford UOTC.
