Did all Battalions of the Jewish Legion wear the Star of David as a formation sign?

I can't remember the details. the RF battalions wore different coloured stars on the sleeves.
There are posts re. these badges. I think. on GMIC and Wehrmact-awards.
This photo of a R Fusilier is dated 1919.

Ah. I'd been told yellow was one of the colours. although I think that may have been "can't quit remember. think these were the colours" info to me.
