Default R.A.O.C. SHOULDER TITLE - EDITED - ACTUAL PICTURE ADDED

The post has been edited. The actual shoulder title is now attached: blue embroidered letters on red cloth. Disregard yellow thread used to attach it to an embroidery item. The kind answer given by 54Bty was most valuable and detailed. Does your answer ``although in use at the same time or just after the printed version-Catalogue number CB 2171.ACI 905, 12th June 1943. `` can be applied to the particular shoulder title depicted? In short - is it WW II and not used before 1943? Was it used later, eiter? Excuse for bothering you! Thanks again.

The bottom one could be dated around 2009-2010, and very much not British used in those colours.

The letters R. A. O. C. printed in dark blue onto a scarlet cloth background with a cut edge.

Worn by members of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. Catalogue number CB 2171. ACI 905, 12th June 1943.

The letters R. A. O. C. embroidered in dark blue thread into a scarlet felt background with a cut edge.

Worn by members of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. Catalogue number CB 2171. NSN CB 8455-99-974-0713. Although in use at the same time or just after the printe version.

The words ROYAL ARMY ORDNANCE CORPS embroidered in blue thread into a red cloth background with a cut edge. (?)
