Shawn,
In this case the pessimist is right, those badges are still being coined in the Baltic States. I know this for fact, but I have never asked my supplier for pictures of those fakes.

No source I have found seems to know the difference in the badge variations. There are three options.
1) The pessimist - many are fakes made by greedy badge companies.
2) The neutral - the design changed over time.
3) The optimist - the different badge designs refer to different schools, (day and night, Moscow and Leningrad etc.).
The truth may be a combination of all three options.
