Thank you again brickie501, I see there is an orange square that seems to be matching mine, but that unit (33RD PARACHUTE LIGHT REGIMENT RA) actually was redesignated as 7th Parachute Light Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery in 1961. Their current DZ flash is red and blue, and judging by images from the 1970s it was already in use then....so this must not be it.
The search goes on
All the best

Based on your first hand description of it as "orange", I would still err towards it being a faded (and/or never properly colour matched) red square for 1 Para
