Default Any experts on RMA badges out there - 2

Now onto the RMA cap badge pre 1922. The only reference I have is a B&W picture which is not too clear (attached). My queries are on the correct shape of the flames, polarity of lugs, presence of sliders & existence of collar badges. I have attached a picture showing variations on the flame & polarity of lugs/slider use plus two identical and one differing grenade badges which are much smaller than the cap badge, both types are different from the reference pic in shape of flame - but seemingly similar in flame shape to what I have seen as reported trench art sweetheart badges for RMA. Does anyone out there know which of these are likely to be real and which definitively fake - and in fact whether RMA ever had lapel/collar badges? - Ray
