A zinc S&L, the same type discussed in this thread:

But I haven't seen one with that finish before.

Hi John,
Just that on those closeups, the quality of the finish looked quite impressive, and not unlike what we see on the S&L Tombak Destroyer. It's only the sloppiness on the obverse and our knowledge of what these zinc badges should look like that tips us off.
Like Hubert said, you can see areas of the original finish where the top finish didn't stick. You can even see some of the brown lacquer finish in the circled area which probably prevented the new finish from adhering. If they'd done a better job, we'd be scratching our heads over whether this was a "premium" finish variant offered by S&L, but fortunately they didn't.
Best regards,

I'd rather say that they just did not cover old finish with the new one in these areas. If they did the new paint could also flake off in other areas than marked?

But I'm just splitting hairs here...who knows exactly what technique was used.
