The one on the left is a darker blue. I just noticed that the one patch on the bottom right has SEABEE, singular.

Thanks, Mitch There have always been conflicting opinions regarding this patch. Some say it is an US Army patch and others have think it is a US Navy Seabee patch. Has any recent or past research finally confirmed what this patch is? I have seen IDs of Navy 1st Construction Bn, Army Construction Bn and a Viet Nam Helicopter Bn? I appreciate any additional Info.
