The first one might be a Combined Services sports badge (for the track suit or blazer).

I have a similar badge on white background.

I'm inclined to agree with Tim about it being a sports item. The Ground Gunner would be worn by the RAF Regiment, probably operating Bofors guns.

The Ground Gunner badge was also produced in khaki, for RAF Regt use on khaki battledress.
