My understanding of these "Combination Patches" is that they were made by unit tailors to make it easier for them to apply in one go those badges required by the wearer. So being hand sewn makes on sense, as that would be three jobs to sew the badges on and another to sew the patch to the sleeve, twice.
Maybe I am wrong.
