I think the bottom one is ok but kept the top one because it's so unlike any other I have seen

Not good for the J&Co tank Corps OSD, seems to be a cast copy.

There seem to be an awful lot of these, always offered as original, I have to say that I have never really liked them.

Hi Neil, as said the J&Co looks like a cast copy, the large w/m collar badge is unusual. If it is the same size as the OSD collar badge then that was only made for a short while with a slider as a pugaree badge, as such yours is interesting. Any chance of a detailed photograph? Your arm-badges are widely copied so are difficult to be dogmatic about. The small WW1 tank is an Iraqi collar, they come in w/m, brass and bronze, hope this helps a little, best wishes Mike

I like your plated example, becoming quite hard to find these days.
