According to Mauer Mauer (ed.), World War II Combat Squadrons of the United States Air Force, reprint ed., New York: Smithmark, 1992, pp.548-49:

443d Fighter Squadron
Activated 24 Feb 1943
Richmond AFB, Va., 24 Feb 1943
Norfolk AAFld, Va., 16 Feb - 10 Apr 1944
P-40s (1943), P-47s (1943-44)
Disbanded 10 Apr 1944
Campaigns: None.
Decorations: None.
Emblem: None.

So, this official publication of the USAF Historical Division, Department of the Air Force, that originally appeared in 1969, states that there was no emblem for this squadron.
