Default Mystery 27 badge?

During TV news coverage of Anzac Day in Adelaide, a very brief close-up of what looked like a cadet showed a badge on the front of the slouch hat which I'm sure had '27' on it, but of a type I'd never seen before. I've tried finding an image online, but with no luck. Does anyone have any knowledge of such an item?

Thanks but no. I know that one very well. This was a completely new one to me in gilding metal.

There is a FB page for South Australian Army Cadets.

Send them a message - they may know the answer.

Thanks, Mick. I don't usually have anything to do with Facebook, but I'll use the contact details to enquire.

The 43ACU/RCU SAust band have used the old 27RSAR design as their hat badge for many many years. Theirs though are a nickel/chrome plated copy of the original.
