As far as I know the armoured school no longer exists (seewww.mil.be/cav/subject/index.asp?LAN=fr&ID=449) however, with Belgian military being what it is, since the new badges came in (sigh), some soldiers may well have kept their old unit badges.
As for badges being sold in shops on bases, I can quite believe this since there are just many different types (in the 1960s-early 1980s we had some 200+ different types of badge) that many soldiers get them as souvenirs.
