Sorry, the f.o. badge is definitely a fake. The small horizontal projection on the top of the letter "o" is a sure sign of a fake.

Do you have any bigger photos of the reverse of the RS badge ?

Only this foto

Hard to be 100% certain from such a small photo, but the Souval badge looks as though it is probably a good one. It is very unusual however to see an original wartime Souval badge with its gold finish still intact.

I can't see any obvious problems from the photographs though so it could be a good one.
