The badge you have is from the last "series" issued , each "series" (99,999) had an identification 'letter'. The first "series" was 'K' and the last 'Z' , various different manufacturers were involved so the combination of manufacturer/series/finish means there are possibly over 100 'variations'.

1915 ‘On War Service’ alphanumeric series makers

My album show 3 different variations :
