All of the ones I saw had two anodised blades on the back, the exceptions being the SAS which was metal with a slider marked AMMO, and the Royal Corps of Signals badge which had clutch pins on it.
The Royal Scots badge even came with the red cloth backing.
I bought several examples and I will post images when I get a chance.

If anybody is interested, I have a whole bunch of these still in the plastic.
PM me to see what I have.
