From the same small tin - two sets of lapel badges.
The 4th is much lighter gauge and the lugs are not standard. I've added an extra image to show a different angle.

36th Aust Heavy Artillery Brigade 1918
The photo (I think) was taken just before the 16th Reinforcements departed from Australia - so maybe in Melbourne early Feb 1918.
If anyone thinks otherwise, I'd love to hear from you.

If this chap is who I think he is, then he joined the 17th Royal Warwickshire in 1917. Do the insignia support this?
Any help appreciated, thank you.
