Expanding on Luke's comments on die quality, I would tentatively class this badge as average for a WWI produced badge, but not as good as say Gaunt's.

In addition to the TF Suffolk and Duke of Wellington’s, off the top of my head, I’ve also seen...
Notts & Derby Regt
The Yorkshire Regt
Royal Irish Rifles
South Staffordshire Regt
Durham Light Infantry
Liverpool Pals
TF Middlesex Regt
Machine Gun Corps
Norfolk Yeomanry
There is very likely more.
The one with a stratified date is the Liverpool Pals. It’s the 1917 version being die struck with a slider according to Julian’s research. I believe he stated the change was mid-1917. Ticker’s Board of Trade Labour Gazette research shows BP had two contracts in 1917 awarded January and August.
So cross-referencing the two logically the Liverpool Pals must have been made from August 1917 onwards. The quality of these is generally relatively poor.
