Default UK made Free Belgians cap badge

Hello,
Just a quick question, did these badges ever have a slider on the back? Could anyone post a picture of one that is real, made it the UK for me to check mine against?

[I'm talking about the lion one, not the 'belgian forces in the UK' badge]

Many thanks

BP

I understand only lugged examples were made. An identical badge was made in Belgium after the liberation and it has different lugs (thin wire).

Yes, I have both types (and the lugged pre-1940 example). But I always assumed that a lugged version was produced.

Thanks!
