Fernnachtjagd badge (?)

Gentlemen,

I am not familiar in this topic: was it any kind of special badge for the German night fighters, who flew Fernnachtjagd sorties over England?

TIA,

Could the be the Frontflugspange for Naeh or Fern night fighter crews?

Dear Chris,

Somebody asked me, I did not meet with the asked badge (if it was any - the question was not definite).
Was it a different kind of Frontflugspange for the Fernnachtjäger pilots (I mean, different from the basic Nachtjäger Frontflugspange) or any kind of other specific badge to them?

Essentially it was the same as the day fighter/heavy day fighter spange but with a black wreath. Short range n/f arrow pointed upwards, l/r pointed downwards
