I don't think you have missed anything. From your images they appear to be the standard badges. Is the 229th mm'd? The 203rd Bn collar has a bit of wear to the surface. Depending on the venue where the badges were sold, if at auction, just two interested parties can create a price anomaly.

The 229th seems to pop up quite frequently.

The 203 rd is part of the Winnipeg rifles so a little more collectable than the 229 th.

Neither are ultra rare!
