Old post I know but I actually have a WRNR Port Diver badge! I don't know if they were actually, officially issued or if they were private purchase, but during my time in the RNR I did see it being worn on WRNS No 1 suit during divisions at HMS Eaglet. The badge I have came with a collection of WRNS badges I acquired about 25 years ago from a fellow collector in the RNR. When I can find it I will post a picture.
