Nothing to do with EOD in itself- It is the metal trade badge for 'Ammunition Examiner RAOC' later 'Ammunition Technetium RAOC' found in both Gliding Metal & Anodised and one of a series of Trade Badges as Grey Green Acorn points out and later worn on Brown Lab Coats in Ammunition Process Building within Base Depots - Now more or less unused....

EOD is indeed part of the trade responsibilities for the AT Trade, but not this generic badge.

Earlier WWII (1942) to c1950 Ammunition Examiner Trade Badge before being phased out for larger 'Flaming A' badge itself replaced with the smaller example in 1960 when re-titled Ammunition Technetium.
