Can anyone ID this 7th Armoured Division unit?

Looks like this WW2 soldier is sporting a 7th Armoured Division patch. Can anyone interpret the other patch/badges he is wearing for me? Thank you.

Thanks for that info. Is the rectangular patch under the 7 AD patch the one for Royal Armoured Corps (RAC)? He is Sergeant rank? Thanks again

Yes they're called arm of service strips and Yes, Sergeant. Though he dose not have the Royal Armoured Corps Arc for whatever reason.
