WW2 Greek cap badges - where were they manufactured ?

A question to the members , firmin and gaunt where the two main manufacurers of cap badges during ww2.

I understand replacements were theatre made but does anyone know where the bulk of the badges for the different arms of the royal greek forces were made ?

You can usually tell by the fittings to the rear.

Most of the ones I have and ones that I have seen have typical fittings to badges produced in Egyptian bazaars during WWII

With the fall of Crete, the remnants of the Greek Army were evacuated to Egypt and reformed initially into 3 Brigades, equipped with British uniforms, weapons and webbing and locally manufactured bcap badges.

so the egyptians would have had the infrastructure then to be able to produce thousands of units relatively quickly . i assumed the bulk may have been done in london with replacement made locally.
