Interesting, its Dutch, similar to the engineers badge with just the helmet, but I hav'nt seen that design before.

Edit a googling shows it as "Engineers- Pioneers
A crossed spade and pickaxe hold a sapper's helmet in the badge centre. Service colour was dark brown. Badge was instituted by Army order Nr. 57 from 1947. This insignia was abolished in 1963, and engineers badge was introduced".
