The service support, engineering, and initially, labour elements of the Royal Marines, wore the plain globe and laurels badge, without any surmounting device, in order to differentiate from the RMA and RMLI. The burgeoning scale of labour requirements for the Royal Marines later led to a much larger labour force with its own cap badge. I suspect that your photo might show an officer of RM engineer services.
