IMO the main difference would be quality of manufacture. Until the 1950's officers bought their own insignia etc, so I would expect theirs to be silver etc. WO's had their kit issued by Ordnance so would be of a lesser quality.

If a WO made a private purchase his only option would be to buy insignia of officers quality. The level of demand being so small that no manufacturer would produce items in the small qauntity just for WO.
