Any reason for different sizes was the actually meaning of the post, der

Shrinkage, I'd say, possibly accentuated by minor size differences if they're by different manufacturers.

The vast majority of ACC plastic badges that I have seen tend to be unworn, I should imagine rather more were actually made than were issued, notwithstanding, I certainly would not want to dig deep to buy one.

It looks like you have one from each manufacturer.
