Does anyone have any information on actual or reproduction patches having to do with the A-12, the single seat predecessor of the SR-71? Thanks.

Try this site. Other than the official 1129th Special Activities Squadron patch (worn by personnel deployed in Operation Black Shield to Kadena, Okinawa), all others were "unofficial" and available in limited numbers. The "Cygnus" patch, the name given to the A-12 in testing, has been reproduced in different styles of lettering.
