Default 4th armoured brigade and its components

Hi,

I want to make a frame displaying the badges worn by the units of the 4th armoured brigade.
Time frame from Normandy until the end of the war.
Because around september 1944 they were active in the area where I live and they helped to liberate some villages here.

It composed of:
- Royal scots Greys
- 3rd County of london Yeomanry (from 28/07/1944 = 3rd/4th CLY)
- 44th battalion RTR
- 2nd Bat. K.R.R.C

When possible I want to make the frame as complete as possible.
I believe following unit insignia were worn on the Battledress, please correct me if I am wrong or if I am missing something.

Royal scots Greys
- Cap badge on the black beret
- 4th armoured brigade formation sign
- yellow - red armoured corps flash / strip

3rd/4th County of london Yeomanry
- Cap badge on the black beret (Is there a difference between the 3rd CLY and the 3rd/4th CLY cap badge?
- metal collar badges
- Shoulder slip-on in the regimental colours (Dunraven ribbon called by John Mills in his book)
- 'Sharpshooters' shoulder title
- 4th armoured brigade formation sign
- yellow - red armoured corps flash / strip

44th battalion RTR
- Royal Tank Regiment cap badge on the black beret
- shoulder slip ons (Purple - Yellow)
- 4th armoured brigade formation sign (left sleeve) ?
- Tank regiment insignia (right sleeve) ?
- yellow - red armoured corps flash / strip

2nd Bat. K.R.R.C
- Cap badge on the black beret ?
- K.R.R.C. shoulder titles
- 4th armoured brigade formation signs
- yellow - red armoured corps flash / strip ? or would this have been replaced with a black flash / strip?

Thanks
