Could the "G.P.O" badge be a 'generic' one for messengers and other letters be for specific areas/jobs ?
"and a pill box-type hat with badge that was unique to me. My number was TS228 (only the messengers at the CTO and their sister office at Threadneedle Street were allowed to wear the Tube Service or TS motif on their cap badges)."

Don't the letters refer to a Postal Area?

Letters on bottom of badge are postal area/parent office , I was wondering if the top area of badges was related to the specific section/speciality that employed the messenger.
