A dark blue beret was introduced into Canadian Service in 1952. This pattern of beret incorporated a 7 inch by 3 inch half moon shaped cloth panel in the Corps badge backing colour. The badge backing colour authorized for the Canadian Provost Corps was scarlet. This pattern of coloured backing was very unpopular with soldiers and was withdrawn in 1954. The majority of the berets had the coloured panel removed.

The blue beret was reissued without the coloured panel and a piece of coloured cloth cut in the general outline of the cap badge with a 1/8 inch border was worn.
