Ah, but heraldic rules have changed (drastically, in some ways) since the
registration of the above device. Currently, a fieldless badge submitted
as a roundel/billet/heart/cartouche/other shape which can be a base for
armorial display is considered as though the roundel/etc.'s tincture were
a field tincture.
Clarifying: What's submitted currently as "(Fieldless) On a roundel sable
a mullet argent" will be conflict checked as "Sable, a mullet argent". I
wasn't certain if that sort of adjustment was made retroactively on pre-
existing registrations under current checking or not. Which is why I could
not immediately assume we had an X@ clearance between the devices.
