They were, though, both as cheap as chips so there's no material loss associated with them if they are.
The Highland Cyclists badge is coated with a brown coating that's starting to wear away and the 4th Perthshire has something odd going on around the bottom of the scroll.

I'm afraid I would agree with your assessment of the Highland Cyclist badge.
You may have noticed it has the spelling Lacesset versus Lacessit on all your HLI badges. If you are looking for a genuine replacement for it, both spellings can be found. Here are a couple of mine, both different strikes and spellings, as examples.
(Forum wisdom is that ET spellings in general are not found post 1926, whereas IT spellings can be found both before and after).
