Alex,
You beat me to the post as I was just about to make a similar query. Perhaps some member may have documentation concerning description and date of wear of (a) RNAS buttons; (b) early RAF buttons; (c) Fleet Air Arm (WW2).
Interesting that you mention leather buttons. I would ascribe these to Great War period, similar to the leather Royal Arms type.
