Unusual WWII 491st Bomb Squadron, 341st Bomb Group Jacket Patch

This is a well-preserved WWII jacket patch for the 491st Bombardment Squadron, 341st Bombardment Group. This group was unattached to an Air Force but served in he CBI and flew B-25 aircrafts. The patch is CBI-made and has an unusual construction I have never seen before. It shows a giant horseshoe over the globe.
