I am suspicious of the back. I am guessing you don't have the button in hand to examine so it will be hard to determine. The real button would have letters that are 7mm high. There was a button produced after the war for veterans but the letters are 8mm high. And finally there were a run of buttons produced in 1961 that do not have a backmark but the front is not as detailed as the one you show.
 

I would want one with a backmark you can cross reference in one of the CW books.
 

Great advice guys. So appreciate your time. I learn something every time I ask. Thank you
