Hi Tim,
Taking this further - the only packaging I have seen for modern LB&B badges is tissue paper held in place by a piece of sellotape - I believe the badges came loose in boxes of 50. I think Mike Commerford stated that these badges were then stripped of said tissue and placed into the packaging you have shown by the Army itself with sticker on the front with NSN and quantity info. Hence packaging you have is not LB&B but MoD.
This sort of packaging is quite common on modern items but I have been unable to determine if badges in this packaging are solely LB&B or perhaps unmarked Shaw Munster, TKS etc.
Regards,
Chris
