Default NEAS, West Africa Regt Badges

Just back from a big show, and bought a number of items out of a real magpie collection started in the 1940s.

Would welcome opinions on these; I generally shy away from sand-cast or similar "theatre" badges, but this collection had some quite far-flung items.

Thanks in advance!

The NEAS is a South African badge to the Non European Auxilliary Service. Mostly african labourers during WWII, but they were also trained as drivers and stretcher bearers.
