Default North Staffs, lugged with blow holes

Thoughts welcome on this badge please ( found an earlier post about a similarly sounding badge but not illustrated)

The blow holes don’t look quite right.
Not a badge I will be keeping if it proves genuine.

Those holes do look wrong. The rest of the badge looks off to my eyes, with what looks like artificial aging and dirt along with bright lugs. I could very well be mistaken though.
Luckily, this is a common badge and a more satisfactory example can readily be found.
