Dave,
Not just for Cadets as the extract from Grumpy's book clearly shows. In use as early as pre WW2.
Available in several colour combos as my small collection shown below. I have not included the Air Force Blue as its not Army.
I have always thought the small ones came in when BD was introduced, 1960?
Maybe they changed direction then also.
Certainly the older ones face left.
regards
