Styling a CSS Button with Pointed Left Edge and Rounded Right Edge

Updated again with Safari screenshot after @LGSon's answer:

enter image description here

Update:

Thanks for your answers, but the following code does not produce the correct effet, one can clearly see the separation between the SVG and the a tag because of the difference in height:

.divsclass {
  background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 146 206'%3E%3Cdefs%3E%3Cstyle%3E.c1%7Bfill:%23fff;%7D.c2%7Bfill:none;stroke:%23a0310f;stroke-linecap:round;stroke-miterlimit:10;stroke-width:10px;%7D%3C/style%3E%3C/defs%3E%3Cpath d='M146 0H98.53l-1 .47-94 94a12 12 0 0 0 0 17l94 94L99 206h47z' class='c1'/%3E%3Cpath d='M113.18 28.2l-73 74.8 73 74.81' class='c2'/%3E%3C/svg%3E");
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

.divsclass a {
  color: red;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  background-color: white;
  margin-left: .75em;
  border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
  border-top-right-radius: 10px;
  font-size: 75%;
}
<div style="padding: 1em; background: black">
  <div class="divsclass"><a role="button">BACK</a></div>
</div>

I'm trying to create the following button where the text inside it (BACK in the example below) can be of variable length. I'm trying with a background image on the left and a border radius on the right but it's not working (using :before). Any ideas?

P.S. I do have an image of the left triangle as a separate SVG if that helps.

This can be done using CSS alone in combination with the pseudo elements

a {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 2px 10px 2px 20px;
  border-top-right-radius: 10px;
  border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-decoration: none;
}
a::before,
a::after {
  position: absolute;
  content: '';
  left: 0;
  top: 50%;
  width: 100%;
  padding-bottom: 100%;
  background: lightgray;
  transform: rotate(-45deg);
  transform-origin: left top;
  z-index: -1;
}
a::after {
  left: 5px;
  border: 1px solid black;
}
<a href="#">BACK</a>

Updated

And here is a version using the existing SVG and a pseudo

span {
  display: inline-block;
  background-color: black;
  padding: 2px 10px 2px 20px;
}
a {
  position: relative;
  display: block;
  color: red;
  padding: 2px 10px 2px 0;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  background-color: white;
  border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
  border-top-right-radius: 10px;
  font-size: 75%;
}

a::before {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: -14px;
  height: 100%;
  width: 15px;
  background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 146 206'%3E%3Cdefs%3E%3Cstyle%3E.c1%7Bfill:%23fff;%7D.c2%7Bfill:none;stroke:%23a0310f;stroke-linecap:round;stroke-miterlimit:10;stroke-width:10px;%7D%3C/style%3E%3C/defs%3E%3Cpath d='M146 0H98.53l-1 .47-94 94a12 12 0 0 0 0 17l94 94L99 206h47z' class='c1'/%3E%3Cpath d='M113.18 28.2l-73 74.8 73 74.81' class='c2'/%3E%3C/svg%3E");
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 100%;
  background-position: center;
}
<span><a role="button">BACK</a></span>

If you use a div as a button and an image as a background you can make your CSS like this:

div.divsclass {
 border-radius: 15px 50px 30px 5px:
}

So you can set the border-radius in all of the 4 corners, if you want to only with CSS. Or edit your SVG, as mentioned before.
