They are all good badges in my opinion. The LF cap is a bit strange, but still OK.
OSD badges are faked, but not to any great extent; certainly nothing approaching that of OR cap badges.

Hello Billy,
I think both of your badges are fine. The Zombies AKA bloodsuckers have indeed turned their attention to OSD badges. Fortunately their efforts are rather pathetic - mirror images of themselves.
