Not that I am familiar enough with this particular badge, but it certainly looks fine to me.

Not a fan, i've never seen one with the lugs so close together (they are normally on the outer rays of the star)

My thought too, I have 6-7 Kings and St Edwards crown plates and the lugs on all are located wider apart than shown in the image and in exactly the same places on all.
I've never seen an illustration of such a plate showing the lugs so close together.

Thanks for your input. Does this go on a shako or a pith helmet?

It goes on the white "ball top" helmet (google Royal Marines Band and you will find a picture of the type of helmet to which I refer.
