Default Fake badges

Can anybody inform me as to the authenticity of these two badges please. The glengarry looks okay but who knows!

Hello,

The 90th is a fake.

The other passes from the front but the rear loops look suspect?

The 22nd has north to south brass lugs on the genuine article. EBay has lot's of east to west 22nd badges with copper lugs.
