Source: badges of the British Colonies from Flags of Maritime Nations 1914 [usn14] which also appears on Znamierowski 1999 [zna99].

1906 might just be correct. The first reference to the badge that I have seen is a c.1909 amendment to the Admiralty Flag Book of 1907. It was replaced in 1947 when arms were granted.
