#3 is a Royal Danish Air Force cap badge worn on the forage cap (chip bag), on a cloth roundel (red and white or red and silver).

The button is Royal Observer Corps as Alan says.

The first badge is an Italian Fascist item. G.A.L. standing for Gioventù Albanese del Littorio or Gioventù Araba del Littorio. The latter is the most likely due to the crescent shown at the bottom, although both populations were muslims.

Good evening,

The first badge is from La Gioventù araba del littorio (GAL), fascist youth organisation in Italian Libya. In Italy, Gioventù Italiana del Littorio (GIL)
