Armored troop,s insignia

My friend doesn't collect these but they did come with the lot along with some other insignia.
They look the part, but what do folks think about authenticity and date of use?

Meyerse,

They look good to me. My guess 40's -50's. Let's see what others have to say.

I do not think they are the 1943 to 1955 type as those were mostly prongs?
I think they MIGHT be the 1940 to 1943 style given the screw backs are the same as the rank squares (Junior Lieutenant) that was also with them?
They could also be the 1935-1940 versions? in any case I don't think they are 1945+?

I've determined the screw nuts appear to be circa 1930s? but I've found some repro's with reproduction nuts....any way to tell on these?

Yes authentic, this is a pre war manufacturing for me .

Hi. Place these items on a magnet. Originals will magnetise, modern copies will not.
