This one is a tricky one.
The first L/53 has a hardware I'm not familliar with, also the catchcrimping looks incomplete.
Can you make some closeups from the hardware?
The second one, the GWL looks to be original. it looks it has the catchplate soldered horizontaly. I would see a better picture of that catch if possible.Comment

IMO Hollow Zinc it's a fake. For comparison, the original Hymmen badge from my collection

The second hollow Gab has nothing to do with the manufacturer L / 53.Comment

The second one is without a doubt an original GWL with correct hardware.
The first one has a wrong hardware imo.Comment

I'd say the GWL hook has probably been repaired. The base appears to be the classic 90degree tin plate bent one, which is very often broke, leaving just the base were the new hook has been soldered onto.
You should also get some angled photos of the L/53 catch as well as that's possibly also had a repair, as has the hinge anyway.Comment

I hope these pictures are better. to say whether this was repaired badge ???Comment

Both hardware are replacements.Comment

I concur with Rene. The L/53 has replaced hardware, and the clasp on the GWL is also messed with. The GWL GAB clasp did not look like this. Both base badges appear original, but neither badge sports original hardware in my opinion.
