Default RA Officer beret badge

Hi All
Just got this gilt RA officer beret badge but the fittings seem a bit odd, has anyone seen this before? The two lugs, E-W, on the lower scroll seem normal but there is the remain of what must have been a single blade or tang behind the crown. I have never seen that before?
Thanks, cheers,
Alex

And one more, made by Dowler, with the combination of slider and two lugs.
