In the 15 years after WWII, troops from the airborne regiments in that war started wearing patches that indicated their regiments on the left breast pocket.
These were not Army-recognized insignia, but rather Soldier-designed patches.
Check out this 504th PIR patch.

For example: Note the 508th PIR pocket patch in this 1952 pic on Fort Bragg. This is a patch created by a Soldier named John LeVique and then recognized as symbolic of the spirit of the 508.
These troops are wearing the actual 508th Insignia on their left shoulder.
