unknown australian shoulder titles

[badgecollector]

hi all
got these in the other day and am having troubles working out what they are.
as they are whitemetal i was thinking maybe police and the WA being for west australia?
what are your thoughts?
oh and whats the CGC 7 badge?

I'm going to suggest that the numeral '247' and possibly the disk are ID for police, railway or security guards rather than unit titles.

'DI' would mean 'Drill Instructor' in some armies but possibly not in Oz and 'Western Australia Training Corp/Cadre/Cadets' might match those? Offered in humble ignorance of Australian military nomenclature.

thanks peter
I think you are probably correct re the numeral '247' and possibly the disk are ID for police, railway or security guards?
as for the DI im thinking police, maybe Divisional Inspector?
WATC still throws me. it looks military but maybe police. I don't think we/they had a Training Corp/Cadre/Cadets? but who knows.
thanks for your thoughts

No doubt about it. Also winged badges for cap and lapel as per scans. One with a V for Victoria was sold on Ebay recently.
