Below is a picture containing both, WO on the left, officer on the right. But which Navy is still a question that will likely never to be answered as the commonwealth navies used the same or similar.

I was in the RAN reserve cadets (T.S. Marmion) in my younger days and I recognised your picture imediately Red. I did a quick google image search to confirm it and was supprised to see it on RN caps as well. I geuss we still share some heritage.

Yesterday I was watching On The Beach and the Australian Admiral had this on his cap.
