I would be interested to know what this cloth armband signifies.

As stated on the other thread, UO, probably meaning Under Officer.  Could be Senior or Junior.

There appear to be more than two letters to the armband;

perhaps ?? U. O. T. C, a named University Officers Training Corps.

yes but I think the others are before not after ?  One can just see the dot before the U. Hence S.U.O. or J.U.O. seem appropriate ( and in view of context of original photo)

I agree with Charlie.  The acronyms that he quotes are very long standing in British Army Officer cadet schools.
