It looks like an all GM 1916 badge (being formerly BM). It looks as though there is the scar of a broken off slider at the top. The brooch pins look as though they are crudely soldered on.
All plausible so far !

Phil,
I agree with Julian/KLR and think he is spot on with his ID! There are some intact examples in this album!

Phil,
I thnk the colour may be an attempt to make it look like an OSD, perhaps and officer lost one and had an ORs EI adapted? Who knows?
