David,
The wide range of Southern Command formation badges were approved by an ACI in early 1941. They were still being worn in the 1950s but no end date is given. Possibly worn until Battle Dress was replaced by No2 Dress in the early 1960s.

I have a few examples:

73rd Independent Infantry Brigade

https://talesfromthesupplydepot.blog...brigade-patch/

From Wiki :

The brigade served under various commands throughout its short existence: GHQ Home Forces from 19 June and 2 July 1941, the Devon and Cornwall County Division between 3 July and 30 November 1941, VIII Corps between 1 December 1941 and 12 December 1942, and Southern Command from 13 December 1942 and 18 July 1943.
