What on earth does that mean? Of course one is white metal and the other gilding metal, one is a single piece stamp the other is two. That's obvious. There's also the possibility of makers differently although I accept this isn't the case here.
For someone who hasn't been collecting for a short period and isn't aware that it's generally accepted that the two piece badge is the correct one your comment does nothing to help and as usual it's posted after everyone else has put their opinion on the line.
If I was a newbie I'd look at the WM badge and think that's the correct badge. Look at the detail, the claws, scales, font, there's not really a lot of difference between the sliders other than the tip.
