The lion would be the badge of 1st Belgian Armoured Car Squadron in England during WW2

It is certainly a very odd example that appears to have lost it's finish!

And its hook & chain, I can't remember exactly what this breast badge with wreath but without lightning flashes designates (which is bad, as I have one in mint condition with bronzed finish), I think it's "pilot".

Is the.lion not "Free Belgian" rather than a specific unit?

The third badge along if I'm right is the Chinese Labour Corps, from WW1 and if genuine very rare.
Cheers

I think the POW Feathers with the brooch fittings are Indian Army - I think one of the Sappers & Miners regiments. But a number of Indian Army units wore POW feathers - depends on the exact style. I'll have a dig through my references this evening.
