The arms are those of The Anglo-Prussian Society. Cf. D. S. Howard, op.cit., p.560 where it is suggested that these arms were devised (probably unofficially) for a Society to promote friendship between Prussia and England during the Seven Years War (1756-1763). King George III was a second cousin of Frederick the Great of Prussia.
