I've heard that as well, from what I was told the Airborne Command patch was worn, along with some wearing the 7th Army patch with the Airborne tab. I was speaking about this with a current 10th grouper and he mentioned the same thing as you did. When I asked someone else, they sent me this,
"According to a softbound book titled "Guide to United States Army Special Forces Insignia 1952 - 1987 by Leonard Martin and H.W. Snyder & H.J. Saunders" this combination of 7th Army SSI with white on blue airborne tab was worn by the 10th Special Forces Group (Europe) between 1952 through 1955"
Having said all this, I'm just plain confused, but I really do appreciate the response sir especially so quickly.
