I would say, just from the photograph, that the single one actually post dates the period that the RFC was extant.
Regarding Mess dress, a half size mercurial gilt on copper or silver badge was worn, regarding Patrol Dress, a full size bullion badge was worn.

Isn’t that a full size badge that was originally posted? I had thought that it was. I agree that the various bullion wire badges appear different, but that was quite normal for all bullion badges to have variations when there were different embroiderers involved. That is the case even now, although less so in those companies where computer controlled stitching programmes are utilised.
