To me the ek2 looks very similar to my original one made by Wagner & sohn, not expert on the oaks, best let others chime in also, that being so, the backing and ribbons look a little to "New" IMHO, could be a put-together

The details on the EK look pretty good.  If you can get a look at where the jump ring attaches to the frame, there should be a semi-circular "tab" extending up from the frame that the jump ring attaches to.

The EK2, the KDM and the ZM are all original.

As for the bar, it's a bit hard to say without a closer look. But the awards are good.

Some original 1870 EK2s had a lug to affix the small ring to the frame, but most did not. Wagners, for example, did not.
