Default 7th Armoured Division Signs

Amongst a group of signs from a recent purchase were a mixture of 7th Amoured pieces. Many being bog standard items however a few out of the ordinary were mixed in.

The 3 dimensional Jerboa appears to be a painted canvas type material and padded. Has anyone seen anything similar to this before? The Jerboa on the OD wool is crude but interesting. I am assuming early war theater made??

All are unusual examples, love the circular example which I think is for the sun helmet, I would love that one in my collection.

Thanks Jerry, I would not have thought of sun helmet on that sign. Have struggled to find a similar example posted anywhere.

It is not an exact match for the topee badge, but then again all of them are unusual versions.

From George forty's book on the 7th armoured.
