My terminology of 2nd & 3rd patterns is again referenced to the images in Westlake's book although only the 2nd pattern has a K&K reference (1143). Like Steve (NZ) I find it easier to reference them in this manner.

is there any contemporary written evidence that this badge existed,you would have had to go along way to find a garage in 1914 if at all and i doubt they would have had an electrical engraving machine to put the '25' on.(thats what it looks like from the pics shown)
if the anecdote was local blacksmiths shop or farriers it would be more believeable.
if evidence can be found it might shed light on the tf badges with the scroll blanked out by the same machine.
