Default CAF 2nd Pattern Type 2 NCO Cap badges?
I picked up a few CAF 1920-1924 cap badges and believe them to be the Type 2 2nd Pattern NCO side cap badges (57mm) but have seen them called NCO badges by some and 2nd Pattern Officers by others (just missing the backing)

Just looking for some clarification.... hopefully

The left badge was fairly yellowed, looking anodized. The finish looked off so i cleaned it up a bit with some vinegar & water. Now it is gleaming. The other one will keep its slight tarnishing.

Also got a few buttons, 1 x 17 mm and 2 x 12 mm. There is some glue or varnish residue on the backs. Is it safe to hit them with a bit of vinegar as well?
