Bottom white patch is Signals.

Bottom blue patch is a Divers patch, forget the rank with 3 chevrons..
From the research I have done, (I came into close to a 100 naval Patches) that these are correct, there may be more to the title of the patches.. look here to find out more info.... http://www.germanmilitaria.com/Krieg...01KM3Rank.html
Weitze has a bunch of patches on his site too... hope this helps.

The cloth patches are very dangerous. They were, in most cases, used after the war in the BM. So you need to do your research to determine if it was wartime or postwar in nature. You just can't go by the fact the cloth patch was used in WWII since it was used after the war also, just like in all other navies. John
