Just a thought, this badge could be for the Burmese Army under Japanese Occupation. A possibility.
I have a large coloured poster somewhere depicting the insignia, with Burmese and Japanese text. It shows the full range of badges, many being similar to their Japanese equivalents; the rank badges are the same format as the Japanese Army but in white on green rather than yellow on red. I'm sure the cap badges depicted the peacock.
This belonged to a Senior British Officer at a Japanese POW camp {his details are written on the reverse).
I'm unable to locate this at the moment as I'm tn the process of moving house, I will try again once moved though.
