As far as I know the 93rd Foot (Sutherland Highlanders) badger sporrans have always had eyes like that.
Here's a traditional Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders UK-made sporran made from a British badger.
L&M Highland Outfitters (Nova Scotia) makes them from North American badgers which are rather different.
They've supplied them both to the Canadian and British military. When the Pipes & Drums of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders (Scotland) toured here one of the officers was wearing a North American badger sporran.
You can see that the Ebay sporran is clearly not a regimental sporran both from the plain brass cones (the Argylls have unique cones with serrated edge and upside-down thistles) and the tricolour hair tassels.
