Thanks Marc , I am still of the opinion that it is connected to the 3rd Brigade.
The eBay example looks like a sample (sealed pattern ?) version and the "approval" date of 25/2/64 would tie in with the 3rd Malaysian Infantry Brigade HQ planning to take over East Brigade in Tawau (Sabah). I can't find any info about how long that specific 'pattern' was used and the unit is still around today , so their could be slight variations in shape/colour etc. Quote:
Central Brigade (HQ 51 Gurkha Infantry Brigade), frontage 267 miles (430 km), 2 battalions. East Brigade (HQ 3 Malaysian Brigade), frontage 81 miles (130 km), 3 battalions. While the patch 'may' be for 3rd (Malaysian)Infantry Brigade (which is still using the crossed tusks on red background symbol today) it is also possible that each of the 3 battalions had numbered patches ? .
