The badge with the Sword was adopted in April 1947 for 'British Army of the Rhein' (Rhine Army Troops) other than HQ BAOR: I British Corps, Hamburg District, all Divisions and Brigades on the BAOR Order of Battle (in possession of their own formation badge).
I am sorry the list is too long to type! To name a few others who did not carry the badge were. ie British Troops in Berlin and Trd Centres, Trg Schools.

I think ford was also a famous company at that time my grandfather had some old car and had some trucks also which he used for roadside assistance service, but now we don't have those vehicles.
