Some sort of Militia Button Update: US Official & Diplomatic Button 1790-1820

Dug a bunch of stuff today with this being the most interesting. It "looks"close to one of the buttons in Albert's Unclassified and Unidentified Section... button UU132B but it is not exactly right. Anyone have any idea??
