Default Officers Silver? Guards Machine Gun Battalion

Hi am looking to see images of the above badge, Dimensions would really help as well, I will be photographing a latest addition buy! this is returnable if I can sort out my feelings regards authenticity!

It is unhallmarked, passes the white paper test, lovely fretting, but there is always a BUT!

Dimensions :-

Height :- 1.855" (47.12)
Width :- 1.9865" (50.45)
Thickness :- 0.228 (5.81)
Material :- Ungallmarked Silver

Disc Dimensions :-

Diameter :- 0.935 (23.76)
Thickness :- 0.052 (1.32)
Material :- Brass disc front is painted centre Red & Outer Ring Blue

Have taken picture's with natural light (not much this early in the morning) and Flash, (not keen using this) each has its own merits the natural light shows paint!!! Flash not so much, but you can see the badge gave been onto google found the one in the Saleroom, thanjs Andy, also Les Martins badge, these all look as mine do, though position of spigots to hold rear disc different and mine does not have Hallmarks? I would imagine not all did but look forward to your thoughts on this badge forvthe good points and the bad points! Is it a keeper?

Many thanks in advance Billy
