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.

I think you make a very good point regarding the engraving, is there any evidence as to where the 25th badges were supposedly modified though? Of the TA's, the 10th Middlesex with the zig zag over the scroll is one which comes to mind, another is the 7th London collars (see Orasot's album) both of which were probably carried out in London or B'Ham or the regimetal armourers who would have been more than capable if the equipment was available.
