Default 1 Wilts VRC - ID Please

First posted this item yesterday (here), but hoping to generate a wider response by starting a separate thread.

Any suggestions as to what the item pictured below might be, please?

VRC 1.jpgVRC 2.jpgVRC 3.jpg

Measuring 23mm in diameter, it looks as though it might possibly be a w/m button in mid-fabrication, but this unit's insignia is not really within my general sphere of interest, so hoping a Wilts and/or button buff can help.

Another suggestion put forward by Brian (Fatherofthree), is that it might be a button-badge, possibly worn in the lapel by recruits prior to being issued with badges/uniforms.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

With thanks,

Peter.

This design is not shown in " Rifle Volunteer Buttons 1859-1908 " by Ripley and Darmanin so may not be a uniform button.

P.B.
