Thank you for your help so far. From what I can deduce, these were uniformed civilians but I would assume that there had to be some sort of hierarchy. Would these indicate a particular "rank"?

I'll get a close up posted but it won't be until I get in to work next week. Thanks for everyone's efforts thus far. I was worried that this was an "easy one" and I was the village idiot.

Belt

I've compared it to that in the past and it seems to match up well with the real badge but, in my opinion, not perfectly. I guess nothing is ever perfectly matched after years of wear. I just have...
