If you can find old photos of San Wai Camp, they often show the badges.

There are still traces of a very faint one on the side of Tai Shek mo in Ho Sheung Heung.

This aerial picture from 1976 shows a chalked/stone insignia.

And if you use your imagination a little bit, you can still make out parts on this ground level shot taken a couple of years ago.

Do you mean the one shown here on the right? 

Someone has re-painted it in recent years, it's now a popular site for hikers.
