Mark and CB, I don't think the OP A&SH is from the same die as yours and mine CB.
I circled in my attached photo indicators showing the similarities in our strikes , CB. Also the boar and cat (more squirrel like than cats!) are similar. The OP badge's E doesn't have the flaw at the top, boar and cat shapes are different, and the OP badge has pebbling on the scroll whereas ours don't (arrow). It's harder to see but CB, yours and mine have similar die markings on the thistle stems whereas I don't see these on the OP badge. CB, mine differs from yours with the lug placements but both have similar feet.
Am not implying the OP badge is off or etc., but I do think it's a different strike.
Mike sold a similar voided tail up badge that matches ours, CB.

Malc has a similar un-voided tail up badge that also looks like it may be from the same die as ours CB, but I can't quite make out some details when I zoom in.
