White on green might be for NOTTINGHAMSHIRE affiliated ACF detachments.

The white on green could also possibly be KOYLI related.

Most were introduced in 1953, later catalogued in 1963.

I suggested NOTTINGHAMSHIRE as I have the combination middle top row. However the A.C.F. Title is more yellow than white. Also showing some other A.C.F. titles in colours to match regimental and corps affiliations.
Worn on Battle Dress 1950s to 1970s and then on olive green brassards until circa 2012 when MTP uniform was introduced.

See my album. https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...p?albumid=3227
