I trust you have more info but those look to me like 3rd ID patches. Maybe 65th Regt?

65th Infantry Division did not serve in Korea, however, as already mentioned, the 65 Inf. Regt. did. The 65th Inf. Regt. was a Puerto Rican Regiment that was attached to the 3rd Inf Div.

yes the 3 inf Div - was searching on the 65th inf regt - saw the 3 id patch but did not register - missed that one
don't think it was the 65th inf - On 27 August 1950, the 65th Infantry, with 3,920 officers and men organized into three infantry battalions, one artillery battalion and a tank company departed from Puerto Rico and arrived in Pusan, Korea on 23 September 1950.[11] It was during the long sea voyage that the men nicknamed the 65th Infantry as the "Borinqueneers." "That was the name of the more peaceful of the two original Indian tribes that inhabited the island of Puerto Rico "Borinquen", and many of the men were direct descendants of that industrious race of people."
