Tim,
Thank you.
The 'sprig of foliage' brooch is in fact the emblem of the Special Investigation Branch (SIB), Royal Military Police which was adoped in the 1970s. It features 19 twigs on a branch which symbolises the first 19 founder members of the SIB. These first members were detectives, all volunteers, from the Metropolitan Police.
I am still looking for information on the SIB lozenge shaped badge.
