Mike is correct that the shoulder title is Federal Regular Army (FRA). Attached is a photo of an ADDF shoulder title.

Currently there is a book about to be published by Helion in the Middle East @ War series, which should be out before Christmas, that is called The Military and Police Forces of the Gulf States: The Trucial States and United Arab Emirates 1951-1980. This is vol 1 of 3. While it is not a badge book, it does have quite a lot of headdress badges, collars, ranks, and titles shown. There is a history of each of the seven emirates military forces and the UAE up to 1980. Vol 2 is on Oman up to 2012 and will be available in the second half of 2019. The third is on Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar up to 1980. All will have badges etc and photos shown.
