I would take the IWM description with a tad pinch of salt. shame there is no photo of the items which would indicate some form of authenticity.
without going too deep into the insignia of WW2 Polish armed forces , apart from Polish War Correspondent, rank was the only thing worn on shoulder straps. I am of the belief that this KP slip-on was early UK issue like the standard British slip-on shoulder title, but its representation and who was responsible for the procurement remains a mystery. but there again I am fallible.
