WW2 numbers are in different format, i.e. 3 digits plus a letter.
See the attached Meteorological Observer patches, the first of which I believe to date from the late 1940s (introduced in 1948) or early 1950s, and the second which I believe dates from the mid-1950s onwards.
I have also attached a photo of an Air Mechanic Fitter (F) patch, which - according to the information I have - was only in use from 1948 to 1956; the Vocab number also being of the earlier format of 3 digits and a letter.
Anyway, I will keep searching...
