Trade badges

Can someone explain to me why the badge class 'B' is smaller then the normal variant class 'A' in this case?

Also one badge is red/orange with green, why is this?

Badges are part of a small lot recently found on a fleamarket in Belgium, are these ww2 or possibly later?

The small badges are the post c1962 pattern, the large is the pre c1962 pattern which continued in use by the Guards, the green and beech brown is a Women's Royal Army Corps badge.

Remember one day when I was the Picquet Sergeant at Caterham Barracks and I visited the Regimental Butcher in his stores with the Picquet Officer to inspect the meat for the day and I can assure you he was vulgar when the young Officer started prodding the meat with a cane! By the way he used to wear a blue cloth cap with a blue red blue square with a cloth Coldstream Star sewn on it.

Thank you, I had hoped to provoke evidence of a trade! Also the Master tailor.
I have a Soldier photo of a Welsh Guardsman leading a horse and wearing a roughrider spur badge.

Regimental Barber and Regimental Signwriter also spring to mind from the early 1980's whilst at Caterham Barracks!

Anybody remember the name of the Grenadier Master Stich 1982 ish? He made my HAC mess kit, a thing of beauty.
