Firefighters medals - Odd variant

[TacHel]

Gents...

A Russian collector has asked me to confirm if his recent purchases are indeed real.  Personally, I've never seen these horrors before, they don't even conform to the description in the establishment decree.  The reverse is all wrong, the face looks like a blow up doll, the wreath is completely wrong and at the wrong place, but still...  So many different makers of French awards, and Belgian makers making the cheapest ugliest ones (out of spite?) .  I asked Marc Champenois of France Phaléristique and he's never seen these before but still, I have to ask.  Can anybody confirm horrible copies/unadopted prototypes/actually legal for wear.
