The reversed colours Paul describes also occurs with the full Royal Army Pay Corps title, so instead of the correct new colour of primrose lettering on blue it's the other way around. I have to say I always thought these were manufacturing errors. A case of manufacturers jumping the gun, hearing of the change but assuming the colours would remain the same.
This I assumed was also the case with the RACC title, manufacturers thinking the Corps would be granted a Royal prefix along with many other units in 1946. The other example being the RCMP title.
Paul also mentions the metal titles, one of which may be Army Cyclist Corps, of course there where also Armoured Car Companies.
Cheers
