To me it looks like both the blades for fastening the red velvet behind the badge and the lower lug have been refitted. I may be wrong but the solder looks grey (lead) rather than the golden colour of the solder of the other three lugs. I would suggest that they have been retro-fitted and the lower lug is just in the wrong place. I think these usually only had the three loops around the sides as the centre loop would conflict with the blades for the velvet. Mine has the blades located N-S.
Cheers, Alex
