I guess the lack of response is caused by poor quality pictures.
Most buttons can be dated using good, large and focused pictures from both fronts and backs.
Something London could be Nutting London

This is just a quick reply until I can get to my reference books. The large 31 comes from an undress forage cap (so-called pork pie) before 1867. The numbered buttons were worn until around 1874, when they were replaced by general service type. The Inniskilling Fusiliers cap badge is probably from around WW1, although it’s first use was in 1898. The buttons with a smaller castle (of Gibraltar) and Sphinx below (?) seem to be officers’ Dorsetshire Regiment, but it is difficult to see clear enough to be sure.
