Default Two Reconnaissance Corps cap badges

I just picked up these two badges among with some British and Canadian stuff and I am not sure if they are good?

A big Corps so there were several makers. Of the 2 you have I prefer the one on the left with the D shaped lugs.

This one was my grandfathers collected in Cardiff in the 1940s.

It is die cast and lugged.

As both cave the same marks in the back of the spear tip they are from the same die set just mad at different times, just my opinion.

Not the neatest of badges but both OK in my opinion.
