Here's the list of known ATS girls wearing regimental cap or collar badges on their BDs above the left pocket. I feel there are probably others, but these are all I know at present. I am not the one who started this list, but have added to it based on vintage photographic evidence.

RA Grenade
RASC Cap (or Collar)
RAOC Collar
REME Cap
Signal Corps Cap (or Collar)
Kings Crown
RAPC Cap (or collar)
RE Collar badge
RAMC Collar
Intelligence Corps Cap
Leicestershire Cap
Queens (West Surrey) Cap
20th London Cap

On a different subject sort of, American pilots who had flown in the Eagle Squadron and then moved into the USAAF were allowed to wear their RAF wings on the right chest opposite the American wings on their left cheat. Don't know if there was ever anything official to allow it but know it was done.
