To round off, apart from the CB number and pattern number the following applies to all three.
Sealed on 3rd of September 1957 by letter of authority (ORD 17B) 25 to 54/Arty/2582. Introduced into the Catalogue of Clothing and Necessaries on the 2nd October 1958. Catalogue of Clothing and Necessaries vocabulary number CB 8046. Sealed Pattern card dated 3rd September 1957, pattern number 17537. It is not known if this designation was ever worn.

You must bear in mind that during this period the idea of any badges being worn that were not Royal Regiment of Artillery in a unit titled RA was condemned by those in HQ RA and above. Most requests made by units to continue wearing any item previously worn (WW2) or new items, were rejected where possible. The same applies today, before the introduction of the Royal Regiment of Artillery TRF, three Regiments introduced their own, 4, 12, and 26, they all only lasted a few months.
