RE OR's badges didn't have voids between the garter and laurel wreath until 1949. All EviiiR OR's badges with voiding between garter & wreath are fake.
EviiiR badges in gilding metal for OR's, bronze with voiding for OSD and gilt converted GvR, with a new Cypher soldered in, for officers.
Worn from 1938 onwards, according to my sources.
