Arrow Three Royal Marines Helmet Plates

Good day folks

Please could I ask for your comments on these helmet plates? I'm fairly certain that the King's Crown on the KC on the top left is a restrike, poor definition to the rear, but what about the other two?

Many thanks

James

Thanks James
I would hang on to the Q.C one for a while though. There's a good chance it could be genuine,just inferior modern day quality.

That was my thought, it looks much the same as ones I have, purchased direct from a RM Commando stores in 1979.
Interestingly one of them has one brass lug & one copper.
