Glad to be of service re Passchendaele pin without leaf as well as the VJ Pin
But sorry Mike, I think its the other way round, the one with the leaf was available from Poppy Appeal (PAO) and the one without the leaf was sold by Poppy Shop. I deduce this by the fact I have 30+ with leaf in my leftover Poppy Appeal stock, and I would never buy that many from the shop.... I think I had about 300 of these pins in 2017

I am looking for a Operation Banner 50 Pin (Poppy Shop) for my collection as despite being a Northern Ireland veteran myself I managed not to get one
I donate for any pin I use for my own collection I obtain from PAO stocks
