Default RAF Cloth badge ID

Could anyone ID these RAF cloth badges as I know nothing about them. The photo is of my uncle, who I believe served in Burma and may have been with the Chindit's. I am hoping the round badge may give a clue.

Thanks for posting that, a formation patch worn by the RAF I'd not known of before. Any chance of seeing the full photo?

Thanks
