Default 34 Armoured Brigade FS

I think most of us are familiar with the formation sign that Howard Cole attributed to 34th Armoured Brigade- the mailed fist and mace on a red/yellow shield (see photo).

If the attached link is consulted it shows the frontispiece of the Brigade history, as reproduced by Naval & Military Press. On this is a blue and black diablo, of the design attributed to all the other Armoured Brigades. I cannot see blue/black assigned to another Brigade The thought crossed my feeble brain that his may have been the original FS adopted by the 34th. It would seem reasonable to presume that initially all the Brigades adopted diablos, and 34th went their own separate way subsequently.

Can anyone enlighten me please.

Stephen.

PS- if anyone has either the printed or Brabant weave versions of the 34th Brigade FS to sell/ swap I am interested.
