I've had another look at the aforementioned book and found the reference, its quite tricky finding the text that goes with the colour plate, much easier to read the text and then find the picture, but I'm not complaining its still a great book.
Wartime, Green over Yellow armband worn by Home Guard personnel acting as guides to regular troops.
Post war, Yellow over Green armband worn by Home Guard personnel to identify them when not in uniform.
But I don't know how you tell the period of manufacture?
