In my belief these are later badges, likely post WW2. To date I have seen badges with this construction marked by Firmin and Dowler. The Dowler made badges lack braze holes whilst the Firmin badges have a more die cast reverse especially apparent behind the flames, with 2 N-S circular braze holes.

Curious that these may be post ww2 badges with that style of construction.
Any further clarification on this matter?
