The cap in question is a
Cap, Winter, Cloth pattern with a stores code of 22F/13. Canadian pattern and made clothing was issued in Canada to Empire Air Training Scheme personal. Officers could buy a fur cap (most likely beaver) and they wore the officers badge to the front. The caps were worn in Canada and had to returned to stores (except officers) and as such are hard to get.
