Just a manufacturing error. I have seen a few of these, both in an all metal type badge as well as an embroidered crown and laurel type. Call it human error that one placed the wrong facing bird on the badge. After all, the ones I have seen all come from the same era as when the RAF wore sleeve eagles too. There was bound to be a few made like this!
