Default 1st Birmingham Battalion

I have asked this before.
The first image is the known original - bearded and with textured fur.
The second image is the commonly found reproduction.
Does anybody know anything about the third badge? It has thicker letters than the second badge and the antelope/torse is a different die. I have had it for over thirty years, but I have never seen another one.

Many thanks,

Phil

For my money, older (1980s) reproduction than badge 2, but still a dud - those rounded letters are never right.
