I can find reference to the 2nd and 3rd companies of the LMSC and the link below (lot 561) has a picture of a badge to the South LMSC but it is very different to yours.

If you search Medical Staff Corps on this forum you should find a number of posts re the corps
Eg

I couldn't find an example of your badge though.

The badge in the opening post is clearly a conversion of the badge you have referenced, DNW Lot 561.
