WW2 Italian 94th Infantry Badge or Shoulder Board ?

I have 2 of these, but I`m unsure if they are individual hat badges or a pair of shoulder boards. Any help would be great.
Thanks, Martin.

WW2 Italian Arm Shields ??

These came with a collection of various badges that also included a few Italian Fascist pieces. So I`m thinking Italian, but I can`t find anything similar. Any help would be great. Thanks, Martin.

Hi David,
HMS Caesar was my first thought, but the head didn`t seem to match the ones that I saw. Maybe they did variations ??

Hi Alex,
Yes, I saw the old link to the badge that you posted, and as my pair also came with the British South African Police collars, you may be onto something.
Thanks,

I picked these up these collars recently and have had no luck at all identifying them. I`m sure someone on here will know.

I have a pair of buttons that have GPR below a Crown and have an R. Bushby makers mark that dates them to 1806-1824. I believe them to be military, but I can`t find GPR anywhere, any ideas ??

Thanks for all of your comments, seems like a bit of a mixed bag, Swiss police, would never have identified those... As they are quite varied and unworn, maybe they were samples ?
