The lack of hyphen will make distinguishing the replica patches from the vintage originals much easier, especially years from now.

Often there are crew changes and names are replaced. Since we are the official contractor for NASA, we make preliminary versions and sometimes go into production before the crew change.
I recently purchased this Ashby version of STS-85. Not sure who the manufacturer is or if it's a reproduction of some kind.
