The overlays are die stamped and therefore too thin to have been complete badges and there is no evidence of them ever having been lugged. My guess is that what I have are left overs from a production run but for what exactly?

These appear to be die struck cap badges that have not had fixings attached,
exactly why that should be I don't know.
They are not particularly good strikes, but they may be genuine badges that the manufacturer did not finish, not 'overlays'.
To the best of my knowledge no such 'overlaid' 5RIDG badge existed and it would have been unnecessary/uneconomic to produce such.
