Default The Badge.....but very,very large !

OK !
Just to start the ball rolling here..............
A very large badge,probably meant to indicate an Artillery Regt. controlled area/sphere of official influence/or Depot.Made of cast brass & painted,as shown.
Fence,gate,building,office,HQ,room.....unknown actual purpose,but I know of 2 varieties of this ,from NZ. Would like to know if other countries used similar devices?
The smaller item is the standard sized cap badge,to give a size contrast.
This smaller badge is also a little different from the normal, in that it is a standard NZ badge ,die-struck,but with blades & silver/nickle-dipped for bandsmen's use.

Cheers !
Steve
