Three Royal Marines Helmet Plates

Good day folks

Please could I ask for your comments on these helmet plates? I'm fairly certain that the King's Crown on the KC on the top left is a restrike, poor definition to the rear, but what about the other two?

Many thanks

James

Brilliant, thanks Neil,

Top right will be heading for the sales table and the rest to the bin.

Thanks James
I would hang on to the Q.C one for a while though. There's a good chance it could be genuine,just inferior modern day quality.

That was my thought, it looks much the same as ones I have, purchased direct from a RM Commando stores in 1979.
Interestingly one of them has one brass lug & one copper.

Many thanks for your comments and advice.
