R.C.N.V.R. Sleeve title

[RCN]

Just picked up this rare badge recently......

I had thought it might have existed but never knew for certain - well now I do know.....

I knew the R.N.V.R. had sleeve titles & have an RPPC of a CPO wearing one - you can just make it out on his sleeve in the close up below - so it appears as if the R.C.N.V.R. wore them as well, but I dont have a photo of an RCNVR rating wearing the insgnia. The R.C.N.V.R. came into being in 1923.

However, here it is... its 3 1/2" long.

I have never seen one. With the gold wire it looks like it was worn on a dress uniform. I wonder if it came in Melton with cotton threads for a working uniform.
What does the initials RPPC stand for?

I have the RNVR in both blue & red embroidery so I would think that the RCNVR example would also exist in these colours.
