I have the one I own labelled as 3 RHA, OG bush hat, worn early 1970's in Hong Kong.

I have a similar one on olive green but don’t know dates of wear.
I also have this one on a white backing which, so far, has defied positive identification. Tim More helmet cover and ‘floppy’ hat badges in my album. https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...hp?albumid=512

Could the white badge be for wear on regimental cook's whites? Worn on jacket rather than headgear?
Or worn on sports wear? |

Could be, but it just occurs to me that it might be a sort of proof for the olive green version but printed on white material. Or perhaps intended to be dyed olive green before issue?
