Default Lugged Northumberland Fus

In my quest to collect a full set of early vic /Edwardian badges I have this one which I would like to know if the lugged version is a sign of an early badge, or were they lugged at various times over the years.
Cheers
John

The lugs should be N-S for a cap badge of that period in my opinion.

The high E-W lugs are unfortunately seen on fake Munsters and Inniskillings.

Here's a genuine N/S lugged one for comparison if it helps,
