Also , why 76 (number of employees ?) . Was there any information about where they were 'put into storage' as this could identify who they were made for.

As this was a general badge, I presumed the 76 samples were for different government depts, companies etc etc to decide upon, the number being so they could associate which companies had received them.
But it's just a guess what the 'S' stands for. Most of these Home Front badges just have an issue number to the rear - if anyone knows what the 'S' stands for, feel free to reply.
