Original name tags & patches

Has anyone done a test on several originals to see how thick the name tags & patches were ?

I’m sure ELC’s name tags are too thick but that would seem like something easy to get right. They were official issue after all, or were they ?

BS / BG patches would have been made from either locally produced leather or scraps from something else so might vary but not thicker than A-2 hide. Is that a correct assumption ?

Cheers
Dave

I'm sure that the leather "discs" for squadron /group patches were part of the CLASS 13 procured kit , along with the leather name tags and the leather rank that was sewn on epaulettes
