Toby,
I didnt say I didnt believe you I just asked to see photographic evidence of them in use which you stated exists.
Personally I have never seen such photographs.
If you concede the WM versions are spurious then it follows the GM versions are too because they are identical and appeared on the market at the same time.
They have been made for 50 years in both metals, are available in numbers far higher than the total number of Instructors that ever existed and can be found with loops and with sliders.
They are prolific.
One can be found in virtually every provincial 'militaria' auction' in the same quantity as cloth SAS cap badges as well as ebay and the less knowledgable militaria dealers website.
regards
