RUR Officer's FS Cap Badge

A silvered field-service cap badge/collar badge (?) for an officer/non-commissioned officer (?) of The Royal Irish Rifles/Ulster Rifles with two lug fastenings (north and south). Slight polish. As Churchill 1756.

Note: Colin Churchill's book on the History of The British Army Infantry Collar Badge shows a similar badge (with voided strings) as the officer's service dress collar badge in bronze. He notes it is "also known in silver plate".

Any further information on this intriguing badge would be appreciated.
