Default Jewish Chaplain cap badge

Hi,
I have been looking at Jewish Chaplain's cap badges from the WWII period and would like some knowledgeable input about these two different dies. see picture

1. The bulk of the badges I see for sale or listed appear to be from this die with very simplified oak and laurel leaves, almost childlike. Also the jewels in the crown are simplified and the lines of the Mogen David star are very thick. These badges all appear to have looped lugs.

2. A genuine WWII badge (in my opinion) with very ornate oak and laurel leaves, proper jewels to crown and thin lines to the star. The badge is on blades as expected for an OSD badge.

So my request is, is the first badge just anouther poorly made badge OR an actual fake? Maybe a Martin Marsh copy?

Any opinions appreciated.

Steven
