I was wrong re. the reversed & intertwined cypher cuff badges, I was thinking of another photo, of a SLI Recruiting Sergeant, c1920's-30's, the lettering not being reversed & intertwined.

I believe the letters on his lower arms are PPR for Paid Pensioner Recruiter.

Also take a look at this thread I started- Recruiting Staff??
