badge shown above shows the pin with the hook on the right.
These two have the same type of broach clip.

The trade me badge has a different type of broach clip.

The hinge on these broach clips can be divided into two types.
Tubular hinge, as in the badge on TM
Circular hinge as in the badge on page 202 and the badge featured above.

Just to shed some light, the picture showing the back face of the LRP badge on page 202, has had the negative reversed by mistake so the pin is the same as the others.

But I do agree, without another known LRP badge that was privately purchased by a non LRP vet, the clasp speculation is hardly definitive.
