Brassard
It is of a similar shape to the Korean War pair that I have which are badged to the RCDC and the badges on your example are correct for the period. That being said, what you have to keep in mind is that a brassard like the one that you have is very generic for the 1950s and early 1960s period and could well have been worn in Canada or even on a UN mission.
I was fortunate that my RCDC pair came as a set and if they had not, I would just dismissed the brassard with the red UN shield as having come from any 1950s or early 1960s UN mission.
You have to understand the Canadian Army supply system for the post-War period; so even if the brassard were dated from the early 1950s, it may well have been badged in the 1960s.
It is a nice badged brassard, just linking it to the Korean War is tenuous at best.
