Ken, do you think the volunteer battalions had different cuff designs. When I saw the subject of the Thread I thought Hampshire Regiment, no problem there, but the jam pot cuffs with trefoils added as an afterthought! Don't know. The image I posted, pointed with trefoil.

I have always understood that all part-time battalions in a regiment had the same uniform - especially after about 1886 when they were fully integrated into the parent regiment. The differences were that they were slow to adopt the jam-pot cuffs. They kept the braid work all the way through. They had their own belt clasps - the Militia had a standard Militia one (see below); and Regulars had the general issue lion over crown.
