Default Three Loops

The badge shown below is (in my opinion only) a fake. There are a number of reasons why I think this, but here I am interested in the fact that it has been made with three loops.

FD664DF2-D137-46BD-BB39-C0E89A5B13A6.jpg 3AB8F1B3-289A-4AF8-8816-AEB879C1995A.jpg

If this badge is a fake, is the three loop configuration purely the product of the faker, or are there examples of 100% genuine cap badges of comparable size that were fitted with three loops, and if so, (some Artillery examples notwithstanding) why might three loops on a cap badge be necessary?

With thanks,

JT
