Received from HM Ships parcel post handstamp, presumably WW2 period - anyone seen this before?

The piece in the attached scan turned up in a pound box today -- it's from what appears to be an OHMS registered parcel, with a 3d stamp for the registration fee cancelled with a boxed parcel post mark "Received from HM Ships".
I've not seen this mark before, and it definitely looks unusual. For what it's worth, it's not listed in my Collect British Postmarks, although James Mackay's Postmarks of England and Wales has an illustration of something similar. Anyone know any more about this one?
