    Without a full description of the arm band, can only assume its a Military Police one..

    Unless it has a badges or lettering on it, could be anything, from an "exercise" armband - indicating which side you are - upwards. Military Police will have MP on it.

    Unlikely to be Military police as the wartime armband was black with red letters.

    Would ''Movement Control'' in WW2 wear the red armband with yellow wheel on it or was that Postwar?

    The question is too vague to really give a positive answer.
    suspect it's just a pub quiz question.
