The top pair are standard Shoulder Eagles worn on No 1 Uniform and on battledress from approx 1950 - 1972. The red versions were both wartime issues and worn on khaki drill uniforms (tropical).
The blue NZ is as you say a much later version of title but I do not know dates of use.
The black background items are, as you said, cut down and are not a match. That pattern of eagle I have only seen used by New Zealand. The New Zealand title looks to ba a cut down standard pattern where the two items (title and eagle are all on one patch, as per the example attached.
