To me they look identical apart from the maker marking.

Hi Tim,
Reverse die looks same - see flaw on plinth about quarter the way in from the left.
Obverse die is different -see extra 'toe' on the BEEWYSE example above 'E' in WESSEX. Also, the scales on the upper right the wyvern tail 'loop' are different.
Still, maybe Gaunt had multiple obverse dies and were commissioned to make a run of these badgesforthem with their name on.
Regards,
Chris
