Help with Brown Water Navy Patches

[MilitaryPicker1941]

Hi everyone, I recently and into the possession of a collection of Brown Water Navy patches and there were two that I wasnt able to ID. I believe the flash might be either a novelty or chaplain related, and I know that the other patch has something to do with River Division 551 and 552.

 

Thanks in advance,

551 and 552 patches for reference

That was a great Ebay buy-it-now hit.

Thanks! A lot of the patches seem to have been uniform removed. They all unfortunately have paper residue on their backs from being glued to poster board.

Was able to ID the second patch as River Patrol Group 59. Still could use help on the flash if anyone has any info
