Cap badges are seldom used to id sub-units. Sub-unit identification is usually done through patches or unit titles. Eg the Intelligence Branch (I am not sure if they have returned to the older designation of Intelligence Corps) would wear a cap badge, and if it was 6 Intelligence Company, they would wear a cadpat title identifying the unit, say 6 INT COY. There may be a formation patch identifying the unit.
The Canadian army and airforce also have distinctive trade badges to id intelligence trades.
