Mystery (to me) shoulder patch Lancashire Fusiliers

[Fuzzybadge]

Hello Can anyone identify this patch for me please? It's on both shoulders of a much loved WW2 Lancashire Fusiliers tunic. Thanks.

The badges on that jacket have been made up.

The much earlier other ranks shoulder title shouldnt be there.

there are empty holes where the other ranks badges have been.

The arm badge is the Lahore District of India from WW2.

A good close up picture of the Lahore District sign ( the Zamzama gun ) would be helpful to determine if it is original.
As mentioned, the shoulder titles are incorrect, however, they could have been added. Extra holes in the shoulder straps are normal as rank changed. I note that previous holes would indicate a Captain rank, and when promoted, the Major's crowns would of course be worn closest to the shoulder seam. Are there three sets of holes? Someone may have moved the crowns to the middle set and put the titles in the position that the crowns should be.
It is very possible that the officer could have been attached to Lahore Dist., so I would not write this one off yet!

The badge has been sewn on poorly with a starkly contrasting thread. Officers did not have difficulty getting decent tailoring and sewing in environments where service dress was worn and such a poor effort in this case makes it very likely that the badges have been retrofitted and are not original to the jacket.

Thanks all. This was my first fusiliers uniform bought in Hastings around 35 years ago, (hence the love!). I've always been intrigued by the OR titles, but wondered if it was an affectation - are these allowed!? I also noticed that the brass two piece collar badges aren't a facing pair...
Attached are other images including the Lahore District badge (thanks for that) and the two 'wound stripes'. I'm bracing myself for disappointment there...

Sorry, I didn't turn them round.
