Mystery Patch. Navy Reserve maybe? ID: WWII Ex-Navy Personnel

I picked up a wool patch with a group of others a few weeks ago and have not be able to figure out what it is. I assumed that it was a kiddie patch or maybe a BX/PX souvenir patch. However, I found a similar one on Ebay, and it was described as a Navy Reserve patch. Can anyone vouch for that identification?

 

Thanks in advance.

Personnel that saw combat with the Navy then later crossed over to the Army wore this as a combat patch. Circa Korea. I have not seen any on uniforms made after the 1950's, but there might be some outlier out there.

Here is a photo of one being worn.

 

I snagged the photo from Patches' ongoing Obscure Patches being Worn thread.
