Any Opinions why this Silver War Badge for Pte 2910 Frederick Benjamin Hodges of Worcester Regt has a Blue Enamel Silver War Badge?

None of the references I've been able to check mention a blue enamel version, and since the medal roll entry for him doesn't show any difference from all the other entries on the same page, I would conclude that the enamelling was done later to 'prettify' it a bit.

I Agree with you- that was my first thought as well. Cheers

That's quite close numbers.. interesting.
BTW whoever bought the Warren badge was lucky, his service record exists. It actually says he should never have been enlisted!
