Greg,
There are some decent books for IDing british cloth insignia. Here are a few;
British Cloth Formation Signs by B.L.Morris, three softcover pamplets
Formation Badges of Worls War 2/Badges on Battledress/Heraldry in War all by Howard N. Cole
British Army Cloth Insignia 1940 to Present by Brian L. Davis, this is the only one giving relative rarity.
There are a few more the Blanford Colour series by Rosignoli and Davis'es bok on British WW2 Army uniforms as quite a bit on cloth insignia.
