Many TV series and films no longer identify actors as being from particular organisations and don't use custom designed badges which are worn by those organisations. So, these "faults" could be intended. For example, the Met. Police and Greater Manchester Police will no longer allow actors to wear their badges or other corporate items, which actually identify the actors as representing those organisations. The Met. Police MAY grant a licence to use its corporate image but they demand to see the script beforehand and if they approve of it will grant permission and demand a hefty fee for doing so. Failure to comply will result in a threat of legal action for infringing their intellectual property rights. This will almost certainly apply also to the MoD. So, I suspect most film makers etc., find it easier to simply replace the insignia with something similar but not the same.
