According to the great god Wikipaedia, "Post Office Telecommunications" was renamed "British Telecom" in 1980. Just a suggestion, and I may well be wrong, but I think the "B" is "British". I have no proof but the "T" could be "Transport" and they could be early collar badges for the British Transport Commission Police?
