I regret I've never flown with a Flight Engineer or Navigator having spent my life in short haul.

May I pick the brains of the learned members here as to to which type of Half wing the above professions wore with Adam Thompson's Caledonian airways (The Scottish international airline),B Cal. BCA/Cal Air/Novair and Caledonian Mk ii ?
I know BOAC followed the RAF with the Aircrew specialization on the wing , E for Engineer Officer, N for Nav etc. It appears that back in the 1960 and 70's most company's just issued a Half wing version of the drivers badge. The Exception being what appears to be a BCal style Engineers wing below.
