Not passing comment on this particular item as it’s not within my field.
But, if that was a British badge I would judge the method of construction here to be casting, and quite crude casting at that with the misaligned and incomplete edges, poor reverse detail and flat-ish look.
Coupled with the poor voiding and rough edges around the flower I would be thinking cast copy… but not doubting Bill, if that’s how these were made then they are quite unusual pieces when compared to the British counterparts I collect, which admittedly some Canadian badges are.
