Default Unusual Chindit Formation Sign

I know that every Chindit F/S is different due to their being made by hand but this one stands out from all the others that I have seen. It looks more like a Chipmunk sitting on a Persian carpet with a perfume bottle than a Chinthe beside a Pagoda.

If I had the original badge I would probably dismiss it as a copy due to its being so far from the norm and yet, it was undoubtedly worn.

It certainly shows original photographs can be useful in providing context/evidence!

Brilliant, many thanks for posting a photograph. It must be a fairly scarce variant as it is not one that I have seen before, anywhere.
