Just noticed that the date of enrollment is 27/6/15 but the issue of the badge would appear to be 2/9/15. Of significance?

The worker would go to his local Labour Exchange and enrol/register as being available for employment as a Munition Worker.
The Labour Exchange would take all his relevent details (training/qualifications/experience) and these documents would possibly be sent to Ministry of Munitions for checking etc.
Labour exchanges would not have access to badges but could have a book of certificates which they could issue as soon as a worker enrolled/registered. The numbers on the certificate could indicate which Labour Exchange issued the certificate and what number in line the applicant was.
The delay between enrollment and badge issue could simply be down to verification ( would this be a civil service priority ?) and basic logistics as documents would have to be sent/returned , badge delivered to Labour Exchange and worker informed.
I'm assuming badge would have to be collected in person and certificate/identity card produced.
PS. A lot of information about this is in the Tom Tulloch-Marshall article , if you don't have access I can e-mail you a copy.
