The RNR Lieut example has an RNR button, so expect it was RNR altho it came with an RCNR Officer's medals, so perhaps he wore it. This lace is a type of Russia braid, & is not gold lace as the others.

Thanks for images. Great stuff.
Never come across the braid insignia before.
I have read in a reference book that the thin RCNVR WO lace is for RNR Skipper. Could this mean that the same rank distinction was used for both?
