What do you think?

Often so hard to say for sure with period photos due to quality and distance of the sitter.
In this case I’m inclined to think it’s not the ‘cut & shut’ reasons being it looks like there is a taller feather on both wings which is the outermost of the two pointing to 12 o’clock. The ‘cut & shut’ badge’s wing tip look very level.
This IY style badge and the single piece Earl of Carrick’s Own badges do however display the taller tips on the outer pair.
Also deeper recesses down the outside line of wing feathers seem more in keeping with single piece and the IY badge below.
Just my opinion but if I was choosing a candidate for the sitters badge the ‘cut & shut’ would be last on that list of 3.
