Wiki quotes Maidstone Museum as one of the sources for the article - you could contact them. They might be able to tell you where the Regimental Museum is.

A further extract says

"In 1961 it was amalgamated with the Buffs (Royal East Kent Regiment) to form the Queen's Own Buffs, The Royal Kent Regiment. It was popularly, and operationally, known as the "Royal West Kents." "

There is mention of the 11th (Lewisham) Battalion, The Royal West Kent Regiment (Queen's Own) -
