Yes they are faked and this i believe is one , the quality of the Eagle on the Mappe and the parchment are poor compared to originals. The quality of the actual Mappe itself doesn't look like Saffian leather and the parchment is also not the required quality , it is indeed a fake !!
The real clue if you are not sure of the actual document is in the Lebenslauf of the soldier.
When Fritz Vogt was awarded the RK he held the rank of SS Obersturmfuhrer !! The silly faker has put his final rank of SS Sturmbannfuhrer on his little concoction !!

The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Great catch. I obviously have much to learn including TR rank structure.
Thank You Much
Matt
