WWII Royal Navy Sleeve Rank Insignia

I watched the film Sink the Bismarck again the other day and was noticing the different Sleeve Rank Insignia

I've Googled it and I think that the Admiral of the Fleet guy is wearing the right insignia as are most of the others but... One guy (he's always the one with bad news signals Hood Sunk, tailing cruisers have lost contact)has wavy rather than straight sleeve stripes. Also the loop is more square than the standard circle. I can't find that in any of the charts.

Is that an indicator of some other service? Merchant Marine perhaps?
