Default 14th/20th King's Hussars Beret "Crewman" badge backing

At various times between 1965 - post 1988 (?) qualified crewmen of the 14th/20th King's Hussars below the rank of sergeant with a B1 wore a badge backing divided diagonally in equal portions of Oxford blue and primrose yellow.

C E Audax covers these details in his excellent book " Badge Backings & Special Embellishments of the British Army"

I have illustrated the backings in question below but before I start making holes to mount the Hawk on them can somebody please tell me which is the correct way to do it?

Is it Blue to the left or right?

Even better can anyone provide a photograph of this backing being worn?

Best wishes

Gordon
