In 1999 Shirley Powers, Volunteer Historian for the American Red Cross compiled a Collectors Guide to Red Cross Pins which included official ARC reference numbers.

She identifies the blue version as issued from 1943 for British Volunteers working for the ARC for at least 150 hours, the red version as for paid staff who served the ARC in Britain for at least three months.

She does not record the third version but the initials suggest service in Great Britain and Western Europe which must be from mid-1944 onwards.

The attached picture shows a uniformed British volunteer.

If I find more I'll post it.
