If you repost a clear photo of the scroll on the rifle/bren badge I will be able to tell you what it says. The bottom word is musha = infantry but I can't make out the top word.

That's better!!

It reads

Al Banadik Al Mushat which doesn't really translate too well directly, but loosely means The Infantry's Rifles.

So to use just plain Rifles is probably best!
