Hi Phil,
The 1st Armoured Regiment wore the chrome RSB for a number of years from 1949 until 1954 (from memory) when they got their current regimental badge.
The Rising Sun badge was also worn by units such as the 6th NSW Mounted Rifles though whether they wore the chrome or normal brass badge is still to be determined. They only received their own badge around 1956.
Still trying to work out if any other RAAC units wore the Rising Sun Badge from 1949 to 1953. Some regiments such as 2/14 QMI wore a 2nd Light Horse 1930-42 period badge during that period.
I think 7th/21st Australian Horse may also have worn the chrome RSB before it got it's own badge.
Mick
