Default 'B’ Company 1RAR (Afghanistan)

Supposedly worn on the helmets of ‘B’ Company 1RAR soldiers who were part of the Mentoring Task Force in Afghanistan. Does anyone have photos showing this patch actually being worn?

A net search might help. There were so many made, a lot of them unofficial. I remember talking to someone some time ago and how these patches should have been documented. Who was awarded the contract, where they were made (a lot were made overseas and still are), how many were made, what years etc.
All of the SOTG ones have been faked especially SAS and 2 Cdo.

Looks like some guy in Florida, USA is churning out copies of this patch.
