Of no direct help, but in hope of illumination. My partner is not a 'collector' per se, thinking it a 'man thing'. But as I'm an ex-TA officer, and she's an ex-RAFVR officer (only grudgingly accepting the shotgun marriage of the VR and the AUX AF) she does like picking up the RAFVR lapel badges of the same pattern. We have also picked up a badge with its receipt.
So, we get to thinking. With the British military mind, if you sign for something and get a receipt, there must be a system somewhere where these receipts are collated - and a name is connected to a number (think of the Silver War Badges). But much seeking has not yet turned one up.
Correlate across to the TA lapel badges...
