Larry Interesting approach. Would it be simpler to use a secondary alpha character for the various badges? For example, Sh 4 where the S is the Mazeas catalogue for corps / services, the "h" would indicate cap or headdress badge, and then the number. The collars could be "c" and the metal shoulder titles "t". It could even allow for "e" embroidered and "p" printed cloth shoulder titles. Officer's cap badges and WO's similarly, could be "o" and "wo". So your S.4.001 would be Sh4.1 brass, unvoided crown,lugs unknown.
