Despite the legs being voided the BM badge on the left is a common repro.
I’m a bit confused by the reference to an economy badge? Prior to and during WW1 their other ranks badge was solely GM hence there is no ‘1916 all GM issue’ as it was all GM in the first place.
If an other ranks BM badge was ever worn it was not WW2 or before. I’ve never seen a other ranks BM badge I’d buy or consider genuine. Officers certainly did wear a two tone silver and gilt badge however.
Re loops v’s slider debate, such rules cannot be strictly applied to Yeomanry due to how they sourced their badges.
