Default Does this BBE group look right?

I'm not a medal collector but I tripped across this on eBay last night. It doesn't look right. The spacing on the ribbons is all wrong. I would expect an OBE would be engraved. I have no idea if the ED embossing is correct. Just wondering if anybody else thinks the group might be Fugazzi.

The Sock Monkey, VC.

eBay number 324087631367 if the above url doesn't work.

Nothing wrong with them; the mounting is old fashioned - possibly even home done and looks like it has loosened with wear. MBEs are never named. The vendor hasn't shown the back of the Efficiency Decoration but there should be a date engraved on the rear.

This group is correct and there is nothing wrong with the way it is mounted. If you imagine the bar is folded over and not visible from the front it will look normal.

Default Point taken Wardog.

NTXT

Actually the ED back is shown. If you look for a small right facing arrow to the right of the picture thumbnails it scrolls you past a few more pictures. The ED is shown there.

Well if they're good, they should do fairly well then.
