SS ribbon bars?

This is the 8 year in my collection. It's the one featured in the WAF reference section.

That first one posted has terrible quality. I'm highly tempted to call it a fake.



And a 4 year also in the WAF reference section.

Even this fake device has far superior detailing...

Is there any possibility that the 1st. device in the photograph could be anything else?
A grouping of this man's award documents were also sold some years back, but as far as I remember, there was no 8 year included.
