Agree with Lettman, both patches in first pic are fine - 2/14 might be Middle East local supply.
Second pic, circle is WA manufactured 4 Aust Div artillery, AIF personnel, 1942-44, and is standard for that manufacturer.
The 2 Cav Regt patch screams fake, the stitching and the cloth are not period and the scrappy stitching is a dead give-away, it has been hand machine sewn and is probably a product of that bloke who sells reproduction colour patches on reproduction hat-bands on a well known on-line auction site.
