Strange badge on early commandos

[Bulo]

Hi,

I'm looking for what is the badge on the pockets of this both commandos?



This photo was taken during the Operation Claymore in March 1941 (Raid in Lofoten islands in Norway)...



... and this one is a photo of Lance-Sergeant Charles R. Hughes killed in action during Operation Archery in Vaagso raid, December 1942. He was member of the 2 Troop, No. 3 Commando. His first regiment was the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment.
In his biography on the website of Commando Veterans Association, it isn't tell that he was on the Lofoten islands.
So, I don't think so he isn't the same guy on the both photos.

The badge looks like in metal and looks like represents an animal. It isn't looks like regulation, both soldiers don't wear it on the same side of the pocket. I don't know the first regiment of the commando of the photo taken on Lofoten Islands, can it be another variant of a Bedford & Hertford badge?

I just know this both photos with badge, do you know others?
Do you have any idea of what is this badge?

Regards,
