Default RN Signal rate badge??

vendor claims thiis an RN Yeoman of Signals badge, possibly 2WW vintage, but I'm not so sure of this -- have never seen a design like this on an RN rate badge.

Any thoughts???

Never seen one, Bryan, but something about it akes me think of Royal Netherlands Navy except that I think they are normally square.
