Those pin plates are the dead give away for a fake. The pin plate on the opferrring is the pin plate you should look for when buying enamel badges. The "coffin" pin plate as Wim calls them, when ever you see a pin plate that looks like that I'd put it down and walk away.

Look on the NSDAP Membership data base and look at the various original pin plates there for reference. That thread should give you a good idea what to look for with enamel badges.
