My scant knowledge of this subject dates from the 1950's when I met a NAAFI Canteen Assistant in Devonport who had been aboard a ship on a trooping run to Korea. He told me that when NAAFI personnel were in a war zone they wore uniform so as not to be regarded as spies. On the strength of this, then perhaps the cap badge depicted here was for a NAAFI canteen manager afloat, possibly a senior one.
