There are definitely lines of fine stitching around the edges of the overlays, a couple of millimetres in from the edges.
I see what you mean about the overlays being a little proud of the backings, if it were a recent photo I'd suspect Velcro, it's as if they could be attached by studs / hooks & eyes, which doesn't seem likely.
Could be that the borders are just khaki tunic fabric backings that the single colour insignia are attached to? The backing fabric looks a little frayed, roughly sewn around the edges.
Badges cut from an old tunic complete with the with tunic cloth backing left as an edging & roughly applied by tacking that edging to the new tunic?
