This is an old post I know, but I came accross it and thought I'd give a definative answer!

These brass shoulder titles were worn by trainee ratings undertaking training at the National Sea Training School Gravesend and were worn on navy blue battledress tunics and later (in the 1980's) on a blue NATO sweater. Woven shoulder titles red on navy blue, gold on navy blue and light blue on navy blue were also worn.

hope this is of interest?

Regards

Tony
