The Driver badge is very similar so I would say a Drivers badge.

Reflecting on it overnight I think that you and Mike are probably right. I know the drivers badge that you mean but until now had always seen it in cloth. Driver/Mechanic would seem the most likely combination given the two badges concerned and I agree it would’ve been an idiosyncratic aberration for an ex apprentice to still be wearing his propellers badge. As mentioned the wheel was more correctly worn on the left lower arm, but errors were of course common in war.
