WW2 Polish LWP rank insignia

#1

Short intro-- I've lurked on these forums for quite a long time but couldn't find any information anywhere on this subject so:

I am going to bed doing some WW2 reenacting as a Polish LWP soldier (Berling Army, Communist Polish forces) but can't find any info about the rank insignia.

I an familiar with the rank insignia used in 1939 and those used by Polish forces fighting in the west, but can't find anything about LWP ranks and rank insignia.

Does anyone know if there are any differences between the ranks/rank insignia used in 1939/by western forces and those used by the LWP in 1944-45?
I was thinking perhaps the reason I can't find anything is because they used the exact same rank insignia, but I'd like to know for sure to be historically accurate as I'm going to be manufacturing the rank insignia myself.

If anyone has any insight on this I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance!
