The first visible number I can see is 3 (but could possibly be 8) then a space then 6 then space  then 2.
Unclear if any numbers before the 3 or in the spaces between 6 & 2.

Will have another look tomorrow when my eyes aren't so tired

Oops the number in the bracket above should read 8

Hi Peter

I hope this is helpful but the best I can do right now is;

362 HAA Royal
Artillery 1940 3
1st Armoured RFR
Group RAMC CME
??? 1943 -
1946 CRE4-R
??? Alexandria

And I am not 100 per cent sure of any of that and it might look completely different in the morning.
