It dont believe they were issued like this . I do think that when you find them cut down , they are either a salesman sample or purposely cut down by the former BDM to insert in a scrap book without the bulk of the original insignia.

Photo below is one I have in my collection that has been cut down .

Paul, in Angolias HJ there is one cut down to the exact shape of yours , there is also one on MILI321 the same shape, too many around like this for them all to have been cut down imo, Angolia claims it a later variant shield for what thats worth! i believe all the ones i have mentioned are all good unfinished insignias including yours, KevinS has one of the same variant but completed , it has a heavy paper type backing with cord applied to the outer rim only. its on the forum here or on his blog!

White ones are harder to find than blue/black backed ones ... If I needed one I would pay $150-$285 USD for one this one . If it was not cut up it would be $500 to $625 USD for the white backed pattern .
