Default Not sure on these badges

Of these badges I am not sure yet whether original or fake.

Canadian army Dental corps: the maple leafs are not very detailed in my opinion.

Army educational corps: flattened slider so probably used and therefore original?

Army catering corps: bottom of the silver cup is a but rough, but there is a brazing hole on the back in the center.

Provost corps: I like the slider, bent but strong, a bit of wear on the badge.

Army Pay Corps: with the full brass back, slider not in the centre and the slider is quite thin. So I'm thinking this is a fake.

Looks like the AEC used to have lugs or blades?

Lugs I would say. I think its probably okay. Would be a strange thing to fake up.

I don't like the Pay Corps, detail is very poor and the slider seems modern.

CAVC, I know nothing about them.

Provost is hard to tell, but I am not a fan of it.

Thanks for the comments.

The pay Corps will be fake than, I have the same feeling.
