DUI Similar to 69th Armor ID needed

[easterneagle87]

Found these DUI's, took me a bit to find a unit, but I'm close but not right.

These are similar to the 69th Armor, but these say "TRUST" , the 69th's motto is, "VITESSE ET PUISSANCE"

How out some help IDing.

 

Please and thank you

And it shares the design of the 69th Tank Battalion because it has a lineal connection to this unit, the 3rd Battalion 69th Armored Regiment. The 69th was at first a full Armored Regiment that got broken up in WWII. It's 3rd Bn became the 708th Ampib Tank Bn which in turn was inactivate in 1946 in 1950 was reactivated and redesignated as the 89th Tank Bn. The Distinguished Unit Insignia was adopted in 1951 incorporating the black cat.

 

Here's a topic on the unit in Korean War.
