Yes!
Earlier badges of two separate metals were linked by 'tabs' usually projecting upwards from the lower piece and brazed on to the upper piece.
For the 4362A/1896 Pattern, King's (worn / made up to 1926) the earlier products had a rounded tab and the later (probably around 1915-6) were pointed tabs.
Sorry - the wrong way around - the earlier badge is on the right, and the later is on the left
(I've probably got clearer images somewhere but you get the idea)
