Billy,
The RA Territorials OSD cap badge is in my opinion a poor fake.
The badge is from a very worn die, the laurel spray almost disappearing its that worn.
Bearing in mind all these TF badges were made over a hundred years ago they were of very good quality and as you suspect 99% solid backed.
The rear of the other looks chemically aged also.
regards
