Default Royal Engineers Chemical Companys

I came across this arm patch described as "Royal Engineers Chemical Company" I have shown it both ways as not sure if the green is on the left or right?
Can you confirm if this is a Royal Engineers Chemical Company ?

It's RTR isn't it?
I think I have one with the green/red/brown inked in.

Agree with Leigh that they were worn on the shoulder epaulette with rank pips and crowns by officers of 2 RTR and on slip-ons by other ranks.

Interesting thread. Just out of curiosity, which is the correct way to wear it, Green/red/brown or brown/red/green?

Thanks,

Terry
