Default Badges from the Burma Campaign

Here's an original 14th Army badge worn by my grandfather during the Burma Campaign. He was at the battle of Kohima.

Here are two versions in my collection, one in bullion, the other with a blue band instead of black. To be honest I've never been too sure of the blue-banded one, but it has the look and feel of a WW2 patch. Any thoughts?

Default Chaplains stole from the Burma campaign

On the subject of the burma campaign I got these from the clearance of this chaplains estate earlier this year. He was attached to the reserve battalion for the 2nd Chindit column, with the Border Regiment, who were pulled out of this operation by General Slim and sent to stop the attempted Japanese infiltration at Kohima.
Regards
