<< Actually, the 124th was wearing the blue diamond patch on their caps. The 
Third Division of the Third Corps had recently disbanded, and was sent to 
Birney's Second Division. Members chose to keep the blue diamond emblem at 
Gettysburg.

This is pictured, and explained, in Don Troiani's artwork "The Men Must See 
Us Today"

Also likely is that red corps badges simply hadn't been issued to them yet, what with everything that was going on.
