I don't think they're British. The PM is Military Police, the yellow wheel on red is Movements Staff (the Brit version is identical but in felt), PR is Regimental Police. MP is another Military Police.
Presume blue/white is Signals troops?
Green, no idea.

Hi Ian thanks very much for your reply, yes your right on the Military Police and Regimental Police. The green one I thought might be intelligence but could be wrong.

Regards

Fred

This is the trade armband worn by Officers & Men of the Royal Corps of Transport (RCT) & The Royal Logistic Corps (RLC)

"Transport & Movement Controllers"
They were transfered to the RCT from the RE in 1965 upon the disbandment of the RASC and formation of the RCT 7th July 1965.

They are the people who are responsible for the movements of all the commodities by Land, Air, Rail & Sea.

Hope this is of help to you
