Default 55th West Lancs Div-variations

I have a number of variations of the 55th West Lancs Div sign and I was aware of the No 4 Independent Company sign which is based on the design of the division, of which unfortunatly I only have a copy ( attached )

However in the latest Bosleys Postal catalogue there is a "Rare ww2 cloth formation sign attributed to the 5th West Yorks,165 Brigade,55th Division " which is the second pattern but with a white rose.

Has anyone come across references to this badge before and is anyone aware of any other variations based on the 55th Div. sign ?
P.B.

Thanks Peter,
I see the Yorkshire version of the 55th Div sign sold for £260 so presumably pretty scarce

P.B.
