Are these badges correct?

Wow ! Both versions seem readily available and whilst I`m satisfied that both are relevant it will still be interesting to see how the CWGC reached the decision of which version to use? Tom thanks for the info regarding the template book and patterns, I`m wondering now if anyone knows of a Staffs Yeomanry Headstone with a Kings Crown just out of interest like?

I was speaking with a gentleman last night who told me that the Queens crown shown in my original photo is a QE2 Crown? The `preferred` badge for the regiment was a Victorian Crown ? The official badge would have been a GVI Crown for WW2 and whilst a QVC and a GVI crown would be right a QE2 Crown cannot be? Anyone know about heraldry? In particular crowns?

Just an update or lack of one! No actual reply apart from the automated initial one!

JR Gaunt of Birmingham (Jennings London 1940/48) held the sealed patterns and pattern books for badges - I know some of the patterns were held at Sandhurst and others at the National Army museum. Some may also be held at the museum in Birmingham:
