I can't see a three-badge Leading Seaman NOT wearing his badges in RN fashion on his RN side.
Photos on this one would be much appreciated, people!

As you say but then what would the chevrons look like? As far as I know RND wore Naval rank in blue thread on a khaki background.
Any idea on the number of that issue P.B.? If you have it do you think you could oblige me with a scan of the article as browsing online has not turned up many old issues for sale excepting in bulk sales.
