The cap badge of the British Parachute Regiment is relatively new as paratroopers did not exist until WW2. So it is a new design that has no historical tradition as common with many of the British regiments. One source I have says the badge was approved in May 1943. The badge is a simple design of Wings with a parachute in the center; the parachute being topped by a King's Crown and a Lion on top of the crown. It has a silver finish.
To attach a cap badge to a glengarry, first locate the designated position, typically centered on the front of the hat. Use a needle and thread to securely sew the badge in place, ensuring it is straight and firmly attached. Alternatively, if the badge has a pin or clasp, simply align it with the appropriate spot and fasten it. Make sure the attachment method allows for easy removal if needed.

I have been collecting British cap badges for a few years and I'm not aware of a different design. I don't have very many references, so my answer is not that definative. But I have learned that the Canadians had a cap badge that was identifcal, except for the arrangement of the flames: the Winnepeg Guards. I accidently bought one. Speaking of grenadier badges, I have a large badge that is the same size and style as the large bronze badge of the Royal Scots Fusilers EXCEPT this one has a slight different pattern to the flames and on the grenade is the coronet and feathers of the Prince of Wales---identical to what you see for the 3rd Dragoons or the 11th Hussars. What is this? It has loops for attachment, so it is a cap badge and probably not a cartridge box badge. ????
For WW1-WW2 era and later, the largest regimental cap badge was the Argyle & Sutherland Highlanders. Of course, this was a Scottish regiment within the British Army and it was worn on a Glengarry or Tam O'Shanter and not a standard visor cap.
The artillery cap badge with a wreath, crossed cannons, and German crown was typically used by the German military during World War I. The design varied slightly between different branches of the German artillery, but generally, it featured a wreath surrounding crossed cannons with a crown on top.
