Turkey Intersting variation on early Turkish air force pilot badge

[rathbonemuseum]

I was wondering if anyone was familiar with this interesting variation on the Turkish pilot badge. Usually the WWI models feature the cypher of the Sultan. But this badge features a red crescent. It is believed that this is an authentic piece based on the manufacture. Any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers,
