I'm setting up display for my newly acquired Nambu with capture papers and need the correct patch to go along with my 6th Division patch. I'm having trouble finding the information on the appropriate Corps or Army group and any help would be appreciated? Thanks!

They were assigned to the X Corps in the New Guinea campaign, and in Luzon they were initially X Corps, and then on 17 FEB 1945 were assigned to the XIV Corps for the battle of Manila.
