Canadian Scottish "clipped" cross badge

[Bill A]

In an earlier string, there was some discussion about the clipped St Andrew's cross found on cap badges to the 2nd Battalion, The Canadian Scottish Regiment. An auction listing is offering a clipped badge for the queen's crown pattern of the badge. I was under the impression that the clipped badges were only a king's crown issue?

Since the 2nd Battalion was converted to artillery (66 Light anti-Aircraft Regiment, RCA) in 1946 and subsequently absorbed by the 1st Battalion, I have no reason to believe that a Q/C cap badge with clipped corners was ever worn.
I think that there are two possibilities.
1. The "rural" companies of the Canadian Scottish Regiment outside of "metro" Victoria may have clipped the corners following the 2nd Battalion custom. I doubt this myself as I remember seeing militia members from the platoon in Courtenay, BC in the early 1980s with the badges intact.
2. As I have mentioned in other posts, it could be an officers' sporran badge.
