Military police soft cap

[visor]

Ok, another one for you guys. Posted as a Japanese military police cap. Opinions and any info would be appreciated.....and if anyone has a period pic.

I think that is regular police.
Police were under administration of Min. Interior whereas MPs were under administration of the Army.

You can see a pic of police uniform here

It might also be Keibodan (neighborhood watch-cum-fire-brigade-cum-air-raid-rescue) but I think those may have the metal rising sun cockade instead of the cloth.
