I don’t know about the black patch however it looks interesting, if you find out I’d love to know.
You’re probably right about the white patch being P-Company related, everyone is numbered so the P-Company staff assess the recruits (of whom they’ve not met before) as basically a number. The recruits display there numbers on white patches.
The white patch you have shown is small and I’ve never seen it like that however they are done by the Para training team so some vary slightly. Attached is an example.
