The little blocks in the shield ('billets' in heraldic terms, I think) would indicate it's Dutch. Note the 'double' tail on the lion, which is also significant.

button no 50
Motif on Btn 50 seems to be a rudimentary 'rising sun', as used on early P&O shipping line items, and Australian army.
Could TP be a colonial police force?

New Zealand Railways?
The button with the monogram looks to have a Queen's crown, so after 1953. Seems to have a large 'Z', similar to button for New Zealand Police.
Could it be New Zealand Railways?
