Default 255 Signal Squadron Patch

An overseas gentleman has asked me if the patch shown in the attachment was from Qatar. It is in fact a cloth patch worn by Royal Signals of 255 Signal Sqn, and perhaps others. The patch I used to have came from a close friend who served in that unit but it was not felt like the one shown. It was a linen type cloth patch. Is the one shown here a fake? Also I would be keen to know when the patch, which has Arabic script stating Al Haliq meaning The Gulf, was first issued, and I presume the end of the patch was 1971.
Any help much appreciated
