Default 6th Gurkhas bush hat badge

I believe this is a bush hat badge to the 6th Gurkha Rifles - I have a second example that has been made up and clearly worn - but this one is unissued. I think they date from the late 40's early 50's ( Malaysian conflict ) - but I'd appreciate it if anyone has more information. Tim

Tim,
I believe they were worn on the DPM bush hat in the 80's in Hong Kong. I have checked the pictures I have and they show a square of that colour on the front, but too indistinct to make out what is on it. Nothing is shown on the bush hats for the malayan emergency despite the fact that company symbols were authorised.

regards
Steve
