It's a really nice BD Blouse, but i agree, hard to make a call on the insignia... even harder without seeing it in person. Pips and service chevrons are definitely right, not sure of the sleeve badges.
The Triquet pictures are interesting. War Aid BD seems to have been mostly issued in the Italian theatre. I have a KD 'bush jacket' which belonged to a Royal Canadian Artillery officer, which is US War Aid, also from that theatre of operation.

Hello Rob, I'm pretty sure about the authenticity of the sleeve insignia, it is quite hard though to say whether they have always been on the BD: I must state that I have bought the BD from a seller that is reputed as an extremely honest and fair one....

Oh yes, the insignia is real I'm sure, what I meant to say was, as you say, whether they have always been on the BD. It's probably fine, and from a very desirable regiment. I would give it a home any time
