These badges are not common in this form and I have only ever seen three including this one.

Are you suggesting Gaunt didn’t manufacture Para badges post WW2?
I own a badge with no signs of loops and know of 3 others identical, 1 with this 1950s mark. Clearly they were made that way, so post war.
Why would an WW2 issued badge be returned to the factory +5 years later for modification when they can make another?
