Default Questions about RN Trade Badges

Oddly I can find no record of any of these badges being used by the RN.

A badge with a single Torpedo was in use between 1903 and 1947. I can find no variant listed which had a crown above it.

Crossed Torpedoes - the only variants which existed with a crown above and 'something' below were the Torpedo Gunner's Mate (crown above, star below) and the Torpedo Coxswain (crown above, wheel below). Maybe a star or a wheel were stitched over the letter. No Crossed Torpedo badges with a crown above a letter are recorded as being issued - ever.

Crossed Flags - again there is no record of any badges being issued with this exact design.

Could they possibly be variants used by some Commonwealth navy?
