Personally I love the patch as it is - it's been worn so saw action instead of just he QM shelf. I would not replace it!!! My references show it as "War Office Controlled Units".

The War Office Controlled Units formation sign was worn by many training units and arms schools in the UK. As there were REME detachments in most units it is possible that on passing out, your father in law’s first posting was to one of those units.

That makes sense. I'm hoping to visit him in the next few weeks once hes feeling better and I can get all the information I can from him regarding his army career before it's to late.
