Default Sheet Brass & Wire Loops

Greetings Chaps,

May I pose a general question regarding those badge locally made (in South Africa) during the Anglo Boer War (three examples shown).

Such badges are often (but not always) cut from sheet brass and have wire loops - has anyone seen these characteristics on other badges or do you think it would be reasonable to presume that if a badge has both of these details then it originates in South Africa and from the Boer War period?

Cheers,

Roy
