Default Parkyn Belt Plate book

Does anybody have a copy of the above book ? Does it have the different Rifle Brigade belt plates in it ?
I'd like ,if possible for somebody to date this Rifle Brigade belt plate for me.
The battle honours on the side are Alma,Inkerman,Sevastopol on the left. Lucknow ,Ashantee and South Africa on the right.

According to Parkyn the Guelphic Crown began use on Rifle Brigade Badges about 1822-23 and remained in use until 1902. Your badge is indicated as Figure 550 in that reference.
