Default Unidentified TRFs - Possibly RAF
Have received info re these TRFs as being RAF. As I have never seen them before can anyone offer the identities?

Default Trf
Apologies number I had been given belongs to another RAFaux Unit, so cannot confirm RAF. So my one remains a mystery as well☹️

The source of the info said it was for 2503 Sqn. The badge for them is the Lincoln Imp on crossed rifles so this led to my question. Someone must know?

151 (London) Support Regiment (RLC) use a similar badge but oval.

Also, similar: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/4001249237280.html

The second TRF, Dave, could be 151 Logistic Support Regiment Royal Logistic Corps. But theirs is oval. That said, many TRF variations were produced in the early days. So it could be an early variation/local design? Here's a similar one for sale:

Here's a pic of the 151 Regt RLC badges from Robin Hodges's British Army Badges.
