Good day Pete,
Sorry it's taken me so long to add to this thread. I was waiting to check with a friend who's a serving matelot.
Present buttons worn on the Navy DEU's are like the CPO buttons in the first photo in RCN Bryan's post. There is no distinction between Officers and Lower deck men. As soon as I can I will send pics of the present day buttons.
Happy holidays,
Ian B
