Default BCOF

BC,

I suspect your informant is mistaken. I don't believe this badge was introduced until after the BCOF was re-named.
I've attached an extract from an Army Council Instruction that may be of interest.

Stephen.

23.07.52. ACI 468: BCOF Japan. With the ratification of the Japanese Peace Treaty, the British Commonwealth troops in Japan have ceased to be occupation forces, and the term ‘British Commonwealth Occupation Forces’ is no longer applicable.
The correct address was HQ, British Commonwealth Forces, Korea.
[The Advanced HQ was in Korea.]
