Sorry, these are the best scans I have.

Thanks in advance.

Ed,

I don't like the way either one of them looks.

Wow, these are very beautifully made badges! The left one looks like it's from Central Asia, it must be very RARE!

They are not authentic nor are they tourist pieces so you can make your own conclusions.

Yes, it is actually made BETTER than the original.

Thanks, Marc, that was my thought as well. Nice to have your suspicions confirmed.

In the interests of expanding my ever decreasing knowledge base, what sort of badges are they attempting to be?

I think the comments there are rather apt.
