Yes, I have seen that backing before.
It wasn't a badge, it was attached to a leather keyring (the two prongs go through slits in the top layer of leather.
Very common on those Leather 'car makers logo' keyrings you used to get in Halfords |

So do you think it was originally a key-ring ? |

I hadn't seen it before, but it's still very nice and unusual as a stand alone badge in its own right. I'd certainly put it into my badge collection.
This medal badge of mine began its life as a key ring too ...

I agree it's a good addition to the collection, even though it's not strictly a badge. |

I've seen lots of cool rubber fridge magnets turned into badges |
