No idea if it is indeed the case, but the massive "button" at 3:54 looks an awful lot like decorative studs that can be added to leather work-- likely a belt or horse tack. I've seen very similar items and patterns at a local shop I go to for hardware for making belts, bags, holsters and the like. The military button at the end looks like it could be a General Service button. Think of it as a baseline, standard issue bit of kit provided until it was replaced by a specific regimental or service button (usually upon assignment to that specific unit). These were commonly used on British and Empire army uniforms from the 1860s through the Great War. It's definitely an army button-- as you mentioned, the British and various Commonwealth airforces feature birds and Commonwealth navies always feature a fouled anchor.
I spotted the ghost knight!

Yea I'm still not convinced it's a button as it's too hefty so you may well be right with it being a decorative stud! Thanks for insight as always!
