    Well, I stand to be corrected but I reckon the first is 19 Inf Bde with the same motif later used by 7 Fd Force and now 19 Mech Bde. It is supposed to be a black panther head! The current rendition is much more true to the beast!

    Concerning the other patch I think we have a colour rendition / appearance issue here and this should be a yellow lion on a green and purple ground. The yellow here looks like dirty white and the purple looks like blue but if I am correct this is the sign of the North Highland District which later became just Highland District.

    I hope this helps.

    You're welcome mate. It just occurred to me as I am taking my refs break at work that some observers might take the white dots as being part of the sign when they are actually fold indicators used when stitching the patch to a uniform. That these are visible as they are means that this is an unused patch.
