I enclose 2 photos of men in the cavalry branch of the MGC and you will see that their cap badge is no different to the standard. It is in the shoulder title that the difference was shown with a C below MGC. The e-bay photo 'looks' like a re-strike badge with a 'C' from a Coldstream Guards 3-piece brass shoulder title.

Yes, but hes back from a house move.

The one piece shoulder title is the one you want. Exclusive to Afghanistan 1919. Got a matched pair of those.
