As for the coloured chaplains badges, spoken info directly from the retired Chaplain CF1 (Colonel equiv) who wrote the last full issue dress regulations and sat as its committee chairman told me was they're just fake / fantasy, likeky produced in Canada.
As to the comment about badges for chaplains all being private purchase that's because officers get a voucher for their own initial kit issue and have to pay for the rest. This doesn't mean there isn't an officially recognised standard sealed pattern of their equipment - Goldings are their official tailor (handwritten response from my letter direct to the Chaplain-General)
Regards
