I know that post independence the Royal Indian Navy continued to wear the buttons that had been in use prior to 1947 and only changed them when India became a republic in 1950.
Was it a similar situation in Pakistan and did they continue to wear the old Royal Indian Navy buttons too?
I know that both nations continued to fly the White Ensign from their warships so it is quite possible that they continued to wear the same buttons! Can anyone give me a definitive answer to this?

Attd pics, text - buttons (and cap badge worn by the Pakistan Naval Chief)
The RIN wore RIM buttons to 1950 so the RPN would have continued to wear RIM buttons till 1956
