No such thing ever existed. When the unit was disbanded in July 1945, about 60 of the original badges were not attributed. Most of them were given to various dignitaries. So the need for an additional batch of insignias was not necessary.
The front design of this replica (‘made in England’ type) is very similar to the original (the back is totally different). The brown color is likely another variant of this replica which could have been produced by Gaunt, the original maker.
