Tank sleeve badges, UK

[TerryB]

I have in my possession two sleeve badges. Both portray a WWI tank in profile or 4/5th profile, one being in brass and the other in white metal. Both are facing the right, which means they would go on the right arm.

I have read somewhere, but have no photographic evidence, that the brass one was issued to British troops serving in Egypt in the 1930's.

I have no idea what the white metal one is for.

Both are approximately 2 3/4 inches or 65mm long, larger than the cloth arm badge worn by those serving in tanks.

My "best guess" is that the white metal, or the brass one was either worn by those who had not attended a formal tank course in WWI, but were "ojt" or was worn as a secondary badge, either on battlebress or for more formal occasions.

This question was posed on another forum and I had no answers posted.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
