Scots Grey's looks okay, but I wouldn't buy any of the others.
3rd carbs might be good, but have to have it in hand to be sure

I would go as far to venture that someone must have placed them there and I would think quite recently too.

I know they’ve been there since 1999, only from the item they were in. Fakes must go back a long time!

At least 50 years for the many late 1960s produced 'restrike' badges. Longer for others e.g. by Fox of Southsea.
