Mike,
Quite agree that it's a very poor copy and the attempt at a three fails completely. The 3rd Armoured Group actually applied for a sign but was turned down when it was discovered that its HQ comprised just 12 officers and 59 ORs.
They had one made anyway as there is a rather nice woven version which looks like the work of Brough, Nicholson and Hall. Image attached showing a clear 3.
