Default Help to ID please

I have the following that I have not been able to 100% ID, have put in italics what I believe they are but would welcome help please to positively confirm, also an idea on retail value:

1. I believe 14th Army but the other ones I have seen have two breaks in the sword to mark out the "I" rather than the solid line here.
2. Printed Catterick District
3. Commando Bde, or is it simply a commando trained trade badge..?
4. (blue & white shield) No idea...
5. Sphinx No idea
6. ? Martello tower? No idea
7. TA Emergency Reserve arm badge?

I will be offering all for sale via forum as they are outside my collecting interests.

Many thanks in advance.

The white tower on blue is Gwent ACF. Here is a more modern version:

The second one is Hampshire ACF (1st pattern). Circa 1942 to possibly 1970s
The one on the far right with wavy white lines on blue is London South West Sector ACF (1st patter) circa 1968 to late 1980s
