Default 3rd/4th Cavalry Regiment (Australia)

I have two 3rd/4th Cavalry Regiment (Australia) badges of differing types but similar sizes. Does anyone know there age and value. Neither appear to show the makers mark.

The stamped one is your standard 3/4CAV badge - not overly scarce.

The right one is the scarcer interim issue one - looks and feels like a cast fake but it was made and worn around 1975/1976 until the regiment was issued with badges via the Q-Store system. It may have been made by Christies but I'm not 100% sure.

Here's an interesting gold coloured 3/4CAV metal title.

Should normally be a chrome colour.

Does anyone know of chrome titles are originally this colour before the chroming process?
