You don't need a sticker to do that though do you, I'm pretty sure the diplomats and foreign service of other EU countries are aware of who is in the EU, especially as our passports already say EUSSR on the cover..
Local police and military don't know this and so having it spelled out can only help.

Even if you had this would mean little as you would be only one case, which would hardly be enough to be considered a fair test.

In fact I've spent much of the last 40 years working outside of Britain, and from time to time in some pretty far flung parts of the world at that.

Thankfully those days are in the past. It soon stops being fun.

On the occasions when I've had cause to call on our overseas embassies, especially in the last 20 years, I've found them to be staffed by an incompetent shower of time serving chinless wonders who didn't give much of a stuff for anything that interrupted their cushy life.
