Are WSO going to change their Brevets?

As has already been mentioned, we have a Tudor Crown, not a Queen's Crown

We do indeed, but (unless you are very, very old!) it is not the one we wear as currently used on the badges or brevets at issue in this thread, which is the St Edwards's Crown, viz:


'The instruction that changed the design of representations of the British Crown in 1952 was HD 4947, the 667th Report of the Committee on the Grant of Honours, Decorations and Medals.

"The Queen has seen HD 4946 [previous report of the committee] on the subject of the Royal Cypher and the designs of the representation of the crown. Her Majesty's wishes with regard to the design of representations of the crown where used with the Royal Cypher or otherwise, are as follows.

1. The Queen wishes the St Edward's Crown to take the place of the Tudor Crown in all future designs embodying a representation of the crown.
2. Existing designs should not be changed unless or until it is necessary to do so. (Wherever, however, a design embodying the crown has for any reason to be changed, the St Edward's should be substituted for the Tudor Crown.)
3. No unnecessary expense should be incurred in making the change and where alterations in existing designs would involve such expense it should be deferred.
4. Her Majesty has no objection to two different designs of the crown (i.e. the existing design and the new design) being in use concurrently during the transitional period." '
