Ian, the original anodised alluminium SWB cap badge is made by and marked on the slider by W.M Dowler - (Dowler Birmingham on the slider). This is the example that is on the actual pattern card.
What you have I believe us a 1970's copy that is unfinished, as it has only had the silver anodising applied and awaits the gold colour.
I have one of these unmarked examples too. The sphinx has a very elongated face ( looking rather more like a Victorian Judge).
Pic attached, a bit dark though.
Regards all
Bess
