True. Several Inf bns had one of their Bns (war raised high numbered ones generally) re-roled into Tanks. Even the IG were represented in tanks and they part of XX corps for Op MARKET GARDEN.
Some of them adopted the RAC mailed fist badge and others kept their old badge. Others such as the Kings Own kept their old badge design but had them made in w/m to distinguish them from the infantry.
I had this scan in my photo album listing them all. Unfortunately I do not has a list of who wore what badges from that lot although i am sure there is a list at the Tank Museum Bovington.
