I'm not a fan of the Leinsters, but someone else may comment on them it shortly.

The RDF appears to be a bazaar made badge. Some such badges are constructed in this manner, similar to multi piece officer badges.
The Leinster looks to be a dud unfortunately.

I agree - you can never be certain the RDF is genuine because of its construction and the Leinsters is a fake in my opinion.
