"Badges on Battledress"(Lt Col Howard N Cole) 3rd Edition August 1953 states that "this" (ie the East Africa Command sign - scarlet circle surrounded by black ring set on a khaki square etc etc) was "similar to the war-time badge of the Command. which was crossed pangas on a bright green background." My comment: Unfortunately, this neither confirms nor denies that the first pattern sign was worn on uniform.
