The Soviet badges are fakes or purpose made for an Opposing Force. I have not seen a plastic British War Correspondents badge before, that does not mean they should not exist.
Trade & Qualification badges are mainly modern Guards type Sniper Rifles + S, Marksman & Weapons Instructor Rifles, Artificer Hammer and Pincers, Anti Tank Gunner and Mortarman. Crown in wreath Army Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant amongst other titles. Most can be found for a few pounds, the large black on red chevrons are for a Guards Athol Grey Great Coat and the white on black on red for the Tunic. German WW2 breast Eagle would be for an Army dress tunic or Officer field tunic £20 upwards.
The last badge is British Army Air Liaison Signals.

I hope that helps.
