After reading over a thread about a fire police visor, It was mentioned that the SB was restitched, because of the hand sewn segment shown in the pic below. I can't say for sure on that cap without it in hand, but I have a cap in my collection that has a similar feature that is 100% original to the cap.

My cap is an unmarked GJ/J/Admin officers visor, very cheaply made, IMO. As you can see my cap has the same sewn in SB and the neat thing about this cap is that the thread used to sew in the SB was also used to sew in the bullion wreath. They just doubled up on the SB section that's why it looks fatter in the pics. Also this cap never had a metal wreath. The only holes in the visor is where these threads go through, no others are present. So this leads me to believe this visor/SB attachment is 100% wartime applied.
Have a look feel free to comment and if you've seen this technique applied lets hear about it.
