An interesting question that I have never quite got to the bottom of.

The badge appears to have been worn unofficially by RA Operators, Fire Control - as illustrated in this 1942 pamphlet and worn on the right arm by the gunner - but also appears in several photos worn by RTR/RAC soldiers, possibly indicating a Driver/Operator, a "wireless signals" badge for which was introduced in September 1944.

Happy to learn more.
