Question MGC unfinished or fake

I bought this badge with a job lot of buttons and bits, for a start I thought it was a sand cast badge which I do collect, however on closer inspection it appears to be die cast with marks on the reverse probably from a grinder.

Is it an unfinished OSD or a fake?

Your thoughts welcomed . . !

Looks like a cast copy of an OSD badge IMO.

Default M.G.C. Badge.

Definitely not diecast. I would label it as a Bazaar piece.
