Revolutionary War in 1793 remained in force throughout the war; Carnarvonshire was again left out. Another ballot for precedence took place in 1803 at the start of the
Napoleonic War and remained in force until 1833: Carnarvonshire was 16th. In 1833 the King drew the lots for individual regiments and the resulting list continued in force with minor amendments until the end of the militia. The regiments raised before the peace of 1763 took the first 47 places but the Carnarvon Militia raised in 1762 were included in the second group (1763–83), presumably because their first embodiment had been so short; they became 56th. When the Royal Anglesey amalgamated with the Royal Carnarvon in 1860, the combined unit inherited the latter's precedence of 56th. Most militia regiments paid little attention to the numeral, but the Royal Carnarvon Rifles incorporated it into their cap badge.

By about 1865 the Prince of Wales's insignia had been replaced by a bugle-horn, and by 1878 the regiment's precedence numeral '56' appeared within the strings.
