That's a great suggestion but I'm not totally convinced. All the KOYLI badges I've seen have a white rose in the middle. Prompted by that I've had a quick search on the net and have found this:

The Westmoreland Light Infantry Militia
Westmoreland cap badge

The Highland LI also had a French horn but with HLI in the centre.

Is there nothing on the blade to help narrow things down a bit further?
