Whilst I cannot provide an exact identification I don't think this has anything to do with the British Red Cross. The style is similar to items produced for the American Red Cross - like those shown - especially as even on khaki battledress the BRCS wore blue backed cloth shoulder titles.
A quick internet search shows that there are two US Bromleys - Bromley, Alabama and Bromley, Kentucky. I think it's more likely this belongs to one of those two.

From a collection belonging to a Canadian military family, I had hoped to make a link to the Canada Wing at Orpington Hospital.
From memory, they do have a display and a number of photographs there. I’ll do my best to pop in there this week and take some photos. Who knows what turns up!
