Ordnance Insignia of the British Army

Ordnance Store Department & Branch

The OSD also used the ASC Last Shako plate, and it is possible that a OSD monogram was also used.

ASC Helmet Plate - 1878
Ref - KK 980

It is uncertain what Helmet Plate the OSB wore between 1878 - 1881
but it would be reasonable to assume they wore a standard crown and star plate similar to the ASC with a OSB monogram
