Default Variation on a theme , army commando titles
I would suspect most of these to be non issue items , but there is quiet a variety out there.
I would be interested to see any further variants of this title.

Don't know if they are actually being worn, but definitely being made!

Most of the ones I've known have wore the two line title , as shown on their 'army' page.

The one line Army Commando made for 29 Commando Regt RA initially, in the early 2000's. There is a desert example around too - black leters on sand backing.

Default Army Commando shoulder titles
Here are two more examples, unofficial and private purchase, probably not worn.

I have added this picture from a 2010 ,recruitment brochure for 131 independent commando royal engineers as a point of interest. The sapper is using the straight title.

The members of 59th Independent Commando Squadron Royal Engineers wore the same designation as 29th Commando Regiment Royal Artillery, at the same time.

Another pair cut from a trashed MTP shirt - odd colour - possibly sun faded . . .

Sun faded.

I had a desert shirt with the OD (RM) shoulder titles that faded in exactly the same way.
