Is yours the same as mine, IE officers pattern. I have an O/Rs chromed, and same as you I have it as 32 armoured.
I do think this badge started off as a OSD, so some one had to remove the prongs and fit lugs.
However not a problem, especially for RE units.
And I could see an officer wanting to show he was with an armoured unit, especially if his men were already wearing chromed badges.
Gives me something to think about.
