Hello Phillip - thanks for adding your badges to this thread. :thumbsup
There is a difference between the white and blue academy badges. The white badge was for personnel who attended the JHS university in Potsdam. The blue badge worn by MfS personnel was for other university or other technical schools.
Your first blue badge in post two is an early variant. Your other badge in post three is also a early variant, but at the moment I can not tell if it is the same variant as the one in post two or a later one. Could you please show a picture of the back.
