Default Insignia Identification Needed

What is this British soldier wearing on his back? An unofficial patch? If yes, can someone identify it. Photo was taken in Afghanistan in 2011.

In 2011 whilst the first pattern MTP uniforms were being issued, some items of kit were still in desert dpm until stocks were used up and replaced by MTP ones. This camelback is an example of this.
