Default CF Branch badge varieties...

When the Canadian Forces were unified in 1968, most of the former corps were re-organized as Branches. The Branches were issued new enamel cap badges. It is now over 40 years since the change over. Like many Canadian badge collectors, I pay little attention to the enamel branch badges, and usually throw them in the traders box. Today, while sorting badges, I found these two Administration Branch badges. When I had a close look at them, they were completely different.
The enamel Branch badges are largely ignored by collectors, but are we in the same state as Brits were with the AA badges? Maybe now is the time to document the patterns and varieties of enamel badges? With the change to Royal Canadian Air Force and the Royal Canadian Navy, will many of these Branch badges be changed?
