Dispatch Rider Patch from World War 2

Good morning

I was really lucky to buy a British Dispatch Rider patch from WW2 on eBay a while ago. This is what the badge look like.

WW2 Dispatch Rider Patch
This looks very similar to the insignia worn by motorcyclists in the Union Defence Force in both World Wars - see post titled "SA Motocyclist Insignia".  After all - the Union Defence Force of South Africa formed part of the British Forces and used a lot of British kit in WW2.

I want to mount all of the memorabilia, some of the NOS packaging, and a short history of the Harley-Davidson's that serviced the Union Defence Force of South Africa in the East Africa, the Madagascar and the North Africa Campaings in a frame that one can hang on a wall.
