Shouldn't those letters be the other way around ... ?
(just kidding!)
I presume you pressed the original flat in the centre panel and then used a new die to press the new letters. Looks a neat job. The only danger is if the metal gets too stretched at some point that coincidentally is on a letter edge in both words, but the easiest way to find out is to try it. Looks good!

hi cdb15
nearly guessed correctly, but not quite,
it was stretched originally with a die press from factory ,
and in fact the reliant pressing has been shrunk back to is original state,
and no its not repressed in with the bond logo, i did it another way, but thanks anyway

OR....
it's a hologram, and the entire cover is in fact not really there...
OK, go on, then, I give up!
