Mine clash similarly (mini's less so as the clasp has been raised up the ribbon).
Consider getting some duplicates, it's your choice as to which set you get court or swing mounted, it'll only make a difference to your dependents after your demise.... (2 sets, one engraved, one not)
Prob under £100.
But as long as you can document the provenence of them, then both sets add value!
