Default LONDON DISTRICT PATCH

I have these 2 London District patches.
The 1st has a BLACK background and a thick hilt to the sword.
The 2nd has a BLUE background with a smaller hilt and the shape of the patch is slightly different.
Can you explain this? Is it manufacture difference or worn by different units within London?
