Default Australian Commando Sign

Here is a badge found a few years back for either the 2/4 "blue" or 2/5 "black" I.C of Commandos. It is colored a very dark blue almost black. I am most inclined to say 2/4. Other opinions are most welcomed. Thanks Jack

Definitely dark blue Irish, of Commonwealth Clothing Factory manufacture in facing cloth.

Title was 2/4 Aust Independent Company then from late 1943 2/4 Aust (Cavalry) Commando Squadron, then 2/4 Aust Commando Squadron from 1944.
