Hi, tie pins sweethearts etc. nearly always face to the right. It is the normal way one would expect to view it, hence the pre 1923 badge. It was only when place on a beret that it appeared to be a retreating tank and was as a consequence changed, hope this helps best wishes Mike

From the photographs, I would think very typical 1940's.
