SS.PZ.AA.11. (Nordland Aufklärungs Abteilung) - fake or not?

The story is these discs (around 15) were discovered recently from Eastern Estonia. I have one in my hand but I have not purached it jet, can You suggest is this disc original or one of modern fakes? Sorry for bad pictures, stamping is not too clear and I have to figure out how to make better pics of the letters - SS.PZ.AA.11. and number 42.

As you know SS Panzer Aufkl Abt 11 were in action at Narva and also around Tartu but unfortunately from these photos it is impossible to see the the font / marking etc and to say about originality !!

cheers

I tried to make some better pics but numbers and letters are in bad condition. As You see, numbers are extreemly large for an Erkennungsmarke. I cleaned this disc with Fairy and warm water. Maybe electrolysis will help better?

Can make it out now thanks , must admit i've never seen such large numbers on an SS tag or on SS Pz AA 11 tags i've seen before , doesn't look good !!

Yeah, I don't much like this one either- notice how some of the ends of the Trennschlitzen look lik drilled or punched holes? And there looks to be a halo around the stampings, although that could be a result of the mainuplation or cleaning, but if it's really there, that's not good either. The light stamping too is abnormal- overall I'd say it's too dubious to be of any interest.
