The Yeomanry’s badge was the Somerset Dragon and its colours are recorded
officially recorded as being “Violet, Campari red” and a narrow strip of “corn”,
as attached. Dave White, who first came across the flag tells me that he
believes the blue/purple fimbriation could indeed be described as “violet”. I
think the combination of the rampant dragon, the unusual usage of violet and the
narrow strip of yellow make it too much of a coincidence to be attributed to
anything else.
