When I was mainly collecting anodised badges I wrote to the OTC/CCF units at certain schools to see if I could purchase a badge from them. One of the units was Bancrofts. I wrote to them about 10 years ago and they sent me one of their badges which looks very like the one in the centre of your 3 badge pic and have attached a pic of the front. I have since sold this badge as I only collect the anodised versions of the OTC/CCF badges. It looks like the school obviously had an alternative source for supplying their badges so I think your badge is genuine. The version I had was very crude on the reverse, lugs seemed to be attached by a "blob" of metal rather than smooth running solder and the finish on the front had rubbed off the high points to expose a more silvery metal. I got a similar response from Perse and again have attached a pic.
