Comment DB&CTCo staff were certainly issued with uniforms (see link), and magnification of one photograph suggests that the buttons were probably plain with a scalloped rim, at least those that were used on the greatcoats. The material used on tramway company uniforms would either have been brass or nickel, the introduction of chroming plating (as a button material) taking place after the demise of the tramway.
