Hi Sean, I have similar slip-ons in combat and DEU with letters cut out of other fabric and sewn on or painted on letters, etc. They were for recruits in training or for identification of the components of units during exercises. Unless you get the provenance from the actual wearer, (eg time and place of wearing), these are very difficult to identify.
