Titley of Bath Buttons

Two new buys that came together yesterday, I don't think I have encountered these back marks before.

Is the first button an early Bath Police button? and any ideas on the second please?

Another badge from the same dies, this time someone has had a go at enameling it as a brooch, but it still retains its lugs?
