It's good to see you back on the Forum Martin, your research and insights have been sorely missed.
I have heard that S&G badges have loops / lugs because the badge itself needs taking off the cap every so often to polish it - whereas bronze OSD badges have blades (which will not suffer constant bending and unbending) because they don't really need to be taken off a cap once on !
Yes, I've been wondering about NS versus EW (lugs and blades) - let alone three lugs; one NB and two EW below !
