Default KC Army Flying Badge silver sweetheart badge

A new addition to my collection...

I had not come across this pattern of sweetheart badge before. In particular, the style of the wings looks more like those on metal RFC pilot's wings, than the Army Flying Badge itself.

For comparison, I am also attaching photos with the 'usual' pattern of enamelled sweetheart badge, the wings of which more closely resemble the actual Army Flying Badge.

I would be interested to know if anyone else has come across this pattern of sweetheart badge? or if there are other variations for the Army Flying Badge (King's crown)?

I have no particular interest in sweetheart badges, although, I think I have only seen one other with similar RAF shaped wings, but, I do think original and in no way spurious whatsoever.
