A nice little haul - the top left UN badge may be white enamel and gilt (the earlier type, I still have some I was issued in 1978 in Cyprus, Italian made ones) or white painted and "gold" plated ones, later issues, both with vertical brooch pins.
A number of variations exist, private purchase in various UN Missions eg I have a light blue and "gold" version purchased in East Timor, probably Chinese made, and what looks like a "normal white paint and "gold" badge but has w/e clutch pin fittings and "IPTF" (the UN Police in Bosnia) marked on the back, purchased fitted to a French made UN beret from the Turkish PX in Sarajevo.
Back in 1978 officers wore the metal UN badge, as time progressed they wore embroidered / bullion ones, and UN Police wore a number of variations of issue and private purchase metal and cloth.
