Default RECCE TROOP 59 COMMANDO SQUADRON RE

I came across this item, Commando dagger superimposed on a 21/23 SAS wing(?) with the following history with it:-
59 CDO SQN RE Recce Tp is para trained in order to operate with 3 Cdo Brigade Patrol Tp.
The Tp has an unofficial badge of the fighting dagger on wings.
Usually confined to sportswear.
Hodges p 74
Can anyone show me this page from Hodges please ?
Also any Ex commando or ex RE para out there who may have seen or had this badge?
I also have the second type shown.
So is it Cdo/Para or Para/Cdo??
I await your reply's.
Thanks
Jerry
