Guys,
I am not too sure what to think of this one.
Given the apparent quality of the enamel and the details on the obverse, it could very well be the front part of an original multi-piece OBH that was "field repaired" (well, OK, in a rather pathetic way, but nevertheless).

But if it is what is left of a multipiece flatback, shouldn't the middle "C"'s be separate pieces?

Not on the 3 rivet versions. Go see the two examples @ Mondvor. All will be revealed.

Jeffrey,
On a OBH of this type, the letters were soldered onto the front of the order. What you see on the picture are the places where the letters were attached to.
I had a look at the actual auction. I am almost certain that this is half of an original OBH (minus letters
).

I am surprises that there were no damages to the enamel from the heat applied to to it.

Dat,
Not necessarily if tin solder was used.

Its a shame that that BoH has been torn apart and so pathetically repaired. It may be worth bidding on though.

I saw that one too. What the heck are those, anyway?
