Default Scots Guards, Officer's or WO's Cap Stars?

Dear All

I have got 3 different Scots Guards Officer's/WO's cap stars. I have looked at K&K to see what the difference is between the Officer & WO star but all it says is that there is a slight difference in the shape, unfortunately it doesn't say what that difference is. Looking at the pictures of the 2 badges in K&K (905 & 906) the only slight difference I can see is that on the WO's star the small "beads", "balls" (or whatever they are called) at the end of each ray seem to be more pronounced. Does anyone have a fail safe way of distinguishing between a Officer and WO cap star and would anyone like to hazard guesses as to the three I have shown below.

Many thanks

Paddy
