Default Continental (?) Fouled Anchor Navy Cap Badge

Ditto: a possibly continental (?) Fouled Anchor Navy cap badge that has come with a small lot of WW2 badges. Not even sure is military or civil... Any hints, gents?

The plastic sun helmet badge is slightly different in detail.

I suppose it was made in metal before the plastic version, However the grist of my post is that earlier I did hesitate identifying it as French due to those minor differences. The plastic badge has the stock curved upwards and the cord is curved differently.
