Possibly a means of indicating he is a vehicle mechanic.

Interesting and strange at the same time. The trade badges appear to metal as well as the shoulder titles. Cloth were the norm. Also, I believe both those badges were to be worn on the lower left sleeve? Shame the cap badge cant be made out.

his ear. Once he stood up....

Possibly RAF, as that’s an RAF Apprentice 4-prop propeller badge on his arm beneath the artisan badge.
