RAD Medals - Opinions Please

I hear RAD medals are widely faked these days. The following 4 medals were offered to me, but apart from the 1st one which has potential, the others are possibly fakes. The ribbons are also more likely found on Police medals. please tell me what you think, thank you.

Tom, I have never seen fakes of these before but the ones you show dont fill me with confidence, and the ribbons are completely wrong !

Thanks Nick. The ribbons are wrong, you're right.
Reason why I think the 1st medal might be OK is if you look at the ring loop. It looks like it was cast as one with the medal whereas the others look like the loop was added later.
