The person awarded this badge may have added an additional piece to the backing. If the front is also lighter (same as the bit out from under the screwplate on the reverse), I would say that this railway worker has been exposed to rather acidic situations whilst wearing it. A railway worker would have great opportunities to be exposed to all sorts of chemicals, the area protected by the plate not so much.
