I think I might have solved the mystery of badge No2

In 1922 the 51st Sikhs (Frontier Force) became 1st Battalion (Prince of Wales's Own Sikhs) 12th Frontier Force Regiment which might account for the Prince of Wales's feathers on my badge.
In 1947 it was allotted to Pakistan at the 1st Battalion Frontier Force Regiment until the amalgamation of the Frontier Force Regiment with the Frontier Force Rifles and the Patan Regiment in 1957 to become The Frontier Force Regiment. The old 1st Battalion (PWO) continues as the 3rd Battalion Frontier Force Regiment today.

I think the 1922 badge was the one shown here.

Of course please let me know if what I have written is a load of old nonsense.
Regards
Sean
