Default Pattern 50 Officers badge

This badge is the 3/4 size officers badge for wear on the FAA beret (AFO 2424 of 1945).
In researching this badge I have not come across reference to the black felt backing fabric. I would think that it is original to the badge issue as it would protect the beret and is similar to the backing fabric of the pattern 47 metal officers cap badge.
Has anyone else seen the backing to the badge?
Thanks,
Barry
