A few additional comments on woven badges, and then maybe someone with more expertise can weigh-in:
The term "BeVo" originally was an acronym for the name of a company making insignia in Nazi Germany. They used, and may have originated, a process of machine manufacture that left loose threads on the reverse side of the badge.
There are many examples of wartime British badges made using a similar technique.
"Brabant" weave badges show an outline of the figure on the reverse side.
Wartime Italian-made woven patches typically have a reversed image on the backside without the loose threads. Collectors sometimes refer to these as "Italian BeVo."
