Default Suffolk OSD Collar Badge. Flat Lugs?

Hi All,
I've been looking at a Suffolk OSD collar badge with flat lugs instead of loops, does this make it a cap badge, I wonder? either way, is this okay, and why is it like that?

They are cut down and drilled blades. It’s a cap badge. Regards

Many thanks, Simon, were these a factory job, or an "in field" modification?

Not done by the manufacturer but by the wearer. Easier to remove than blades. Regards

Ah, yes, thought so, anyhow, it's quite a nice badge, another one for the collection. Many thanks, Simon.
