Possibly a means of indicating he is a vehicle mechanic.

Interesting and strange at the same time. The trade badges appear to metal as well as the shoulder titles. Cloth were the norm. Also, I believe both those badges were to be worn on the lower left sleeve? Shame the cap badge cant be made out.

I think that the only reason its staying on this head is because its resting on
his ear. Once he stood up....

Possibly RAF, as that’s an RAF Apprentice 4-prop propeller badge on his arm beneath the artisan badge.
