I cannot see any evidence in your photographs or posts. As I said a die flaw does not automatically = restrike. From what I can see of the fronts barring them being cast copies you have shown 3 original badges.
I am still waiting to hear why they may be restrikes? And are you saying both dies have been restruck? What do the originals look like?
As I said before every one I’ve seen with die flaws is on a period slider or loops and has good reverse detail etc. etc. I’ve seen nothing to suggest they are of modern or post 1920s manufacture. None are encountered on repro marked sliders, not sold by the fake sellers or present in Martin Marsh catalogue etc.
Also very interested to hear why your annotation on the last link states the three (from two different dies) are ‘probably made by British Leyland’?
