Hello Board members, I have attached front and back pictures of 4 patches I feel to be suspect. Any opinions on them are welcomed.

I'm thinking the same way. Just wanted confirmation. The Brit cloth I am not all that good on.

These are replicas indeed, possibly from ebay seller cunnard.

The dash between anti and tank is missing by the way.

Yes, I concur; they are all duff; the quality of the lettering is dreadful. I agree they look like the products from the named seller (but I think they all originate from South Asia) and the spaghetti on the back is just dreadful. No quality control about it.
