Default NCO badges

Good evening,

I need your help to attribute these badges

The first chevron has dark-green backing, the second one grass-green. The WO crown has a black backing.

Thank you

Here's my thoughts -
1) Backing for Worcestershire & Sherwood Foresters Regiment (WFR)
2) Not sure possibly Royal Regiment of Wales (RRW) ?
3) WO2 badge for Staffordshire Regiment
4) Lance Corporal rank badge, Foot Guards (yes that is correct Lance Corporal - in every other unit of the British army a Lance Corporal wears a single chevron, in the Brigade of Guards the regiments of foot guards wear two chevrons of a much larger pattern than the standard size)
5) As above but for either a Lance Sergeant or Sergeant

PL
