Came across these long forgotten patches placed in a box 10 years ago or more. A nice contrast between I believe the change in 1st sergeant insignia that took place in 1942. A third rocker was added to the bottom and the stripe color changed from a khaki color to the more familiar OD green. Others may have additional details.

Many of the earlier (pre WW2) chevrons have a "mustard" coloring to them. This is particularly true with the felt-on-felt types. But, it all varied by manufacturer.
