I wonder if they replaced the Army Depot Police ? It's the same badge with different wording

Yes they did, they man the main gates on the RAF bases now too, not just the army bases, they are now the equivalent of the MOD Guard Service/Northern Ireland Security Guard Service in the UK and the Gibraltar Defence Guard Service and until recently the Germany Guard Service.

A totally meaningless name and a contradiction in terms!

Default SFP Cyprus cap badge
Raised in 1995 replacing the Army Depot Police and the remnants of the Royal Air Force Auxiliaries in Cyprus. There is a metal shoulder title with the letters S.F.P. Hope this is of help.

Yes Chris it is. This badge has been around for several years now and it did replace the Army Depot Police badge.
