Here's a No.2 Dress Model of the Foot Guards, much much bigger than your's.
For a Warrant Officer 1 - Regimental Sergeant Major and Superintending Clerk.

HA! I completely missed the leaves

Maple leaves vs the Tutor Rose?
Makes some sort of sense but I think just missing the Tutor Rose on the Canadian version.

Will have to look it up to be 100%
