I'm not clear on that description - what do you mean by two "tabs" on the sleeve ?

Or failing that, are these "lance corporal stripes" on upper arm or lower arm? "V"shaped or inverted like so "^"

The "two tabs" - likewise chevrons of which orientation? Or straight vertical stripes? Where on the arm? What size?
