Top badge has the die flaw on the first L of ARGYLL which is present on a well known eBay repro merchants examples of this badge. This same die and flaw also features in the Martin Marsh repro catalogue.

Second badge is from the same die as this very modern anodised aluminium badge https://www.cultmancollectables.com/...oduct_id=11003 . Note the flaw below the coronet and its base not being completely stuck. The seeding is coarse, the cat looks more like a chipmunk and the overall rendering of features is poor. Lastly the reverse looks poorly stuck and an unusual colour which I suspect is chemical ageing.
