Default today's find, Army air corps

Bought a small tin of badges today , brought up from the cellar and in it was this one, Chrome or nickel plated with a backing plate which looks like it was cut from a compo rations tin. I have included the one that I already had for comparison, it seems to be the same die but todays find has sharper detail both front and back, Also for interest a few other Army air corps bits and pieces.
