Never seen anything like embroidered/worsted/printed flash with lettering.

The only lettered shoulder title I have seen is probably post-War and has defied identification for decades - its EonF and reads 1st GORDONS. Some say ACF while others believe it be one of those Malayan Emergency period bazaar-made titles to be worn on demob leave by National Servicemen (and others). The narrow strip of tartan was still being worn on BD in the early 1960s.
