Default Greek badge - date?

Hello,

I have this badge. I know that the design was used in the Korea (see the photo) but I am unsure if it was also used earlier - WWII perhaps?

Could anyone tell me when this badge dates from?



...and in Korea:

Commander of the Greek Battalion poses for a Life photographer, displaying the badge on his US pile cap.

Hopefully the pics have worked.
