Smile Ghurka badges

I bought these two badges yesterday from a dealer, the first badge which I thought was a 9th Ghurka is (IMO) a 6th.
The second badge is a 7th Ghurka although the "7" is at a funny angle, has anyone ever encountered this before?

Thanks in advance.

Rob

Would the 7th's badge "work" if both parts of the badge were taken off the backing plate and put back on with the plate having been turned 180 degrees so it's the other way up?
