Default ID of this one please

This came in a lot of cloth items, most of which I need to clear as they are not RM related, and I am hoping someone on the forum can tell me:
What unit, what period, original or copy - possibly a general, ball-park value?
Many Thanks
Aye Yours
Ray

British 5 Corps. Sign selected in 1941 and worn throughout the War - UK, North Africa, Sicily and Italy. Not a particularly valuable sign and this is not a very good specimen - it's genuine but the design is somewhat off-centre. However, the design - chosed to mark 5 Corps' involvement in the campaign in Norway 1940 - was the work of the famous British landscape artist Edward Seago, then GSO3 (Camouflage) HQ 5 Corps. The sign came in facing pairs, printed, EonF and locally made in Italy I imagine.
