It's difficult to say much about patches like these. As you can clearly see, the cord was added later. A direct attribution isn't possible in my opinion. It could be from that period, but it could also have been added after 1945. Who can prove it? If it's not much more expensive than a regular Motor Hitler Youth patch, you could certainly buy it. But I wouldn't pay a lot of money for it.

Yes, that is odd. The lowest-ranking of the Motor-HJ badges but with the addition of that unofficial braid? Doesn't make sense but as Steve says, if it isn't much more expensive than a standard Motor-HJ formation badge I would grab it as a nice oddity. Who knows? Could well be a wartime modification.
