I don't believe there is a link from 1st Armoured Division to the post WW2 20th Armoured Brigade who wore the Mailed Fist of 6th Armoured Division.
Shown here left to right:
6th Armoured Division WW2
20th Armoured Brigade WW2 ??? (as a sub unit of 6th Armoured Division)
20th Armoured Brigade BAOR c1958 - 1970 (silk woven) Formation signs were "taken down" on the introduction of dpm combat dress
20th Armoured Brigade c1990 to date - Formation badges reintroduced
20th Armoured Brigade c1990 to date (a number of variations exist)
