A friend is going to frame his grandfather's medals and wishes to add a KOYLI cap badge but is unsure of the correct one for WW1 - can anyone assist with an image?

There were three versions that might’ve been seen during WW1.  The most attractive was the original pattern from the very late Victorian era that had decorative markings on the bugle.  Then there was a simpler pattern, but still with a white rose at centre, and finally there was an all-brass pattern issued from around 1916 to economise by making mass manufacture simpler.
