Default Help to Identify this arm badge. Navy?

Not the best quality image but this badge has me stumped. Could it be a Royal Navy Petty Officer's crossed anchors?

At first I thought it might be a crown above crossed swords but if so the hilts are upwards and the badge is on the upper left arm.

It is being worn on khaki drill.

Thoughts appreciated.

Jon

After enhancing the image I think I see a KC over crossed anchors (or at least one half of each)

My thanks for the help, especially Mike's enhancement.

I'm happy that it's a crown over crossed anchors.
