The CEF badges were made in England by Gaunt & Tiptaft. These feature a wreath where the maple leafs slightly overlap - the so called 'narrow' wreath. Post WW1 badges made in Canada have adjasent leafs side by side - resulting in the so called 'wide' wreath. The difference is subtle, but you can see what I'm on about by looking at the scan.
I don't know the date when these Canadian made OR badges were introduced, but I'd guess it was early in the militia period. I'd consider the wide wreath OR badge shown in the badge registry to be the 'correct' WW2 pattern.
Gaunt continued to produce private purchase officers badges through WW2, & several variants of these can be found. You can also find narrow wreath OR's badges marked J.R.GAUNT LONDON. I 'm pretty sure these are modern restrikes.
