I was aware of 10 Para involvement in desert warfare but was unable to confirm as I could not find a photograph of the badge in wear.
The placard/shield is very interesting. What is the connection with the SAS winged dagger? Possibly the Ballidaan badge although hard to see the base scroll in the pic.

It does appear to be a Balidan badge :

Even though a candidate may have cleared selection, he is not formally inducted into the regiment until completion of the balidan padh where, after training, a candidate is involved in active operations in a hostile zone for a year. Provided the candidate survives the balidan padh, he is given the balidan badge and formally inducted into the regiment.
