As has been stated above, the forage cap is a 'cavalry' cap and this includes the RCMP who continue to wear yellow facings, headband and trouser stripes.
From the construction I would say 19302 but the style was still in wear in the 50s. By the 60s the caps had a fuller crown due to a padded lining.
Are there any buttons on the cap? These would have held the missing chinstrap in place. If they are General Service or regimental then it is military and if they are RNWMP/RCMP then no further identification is needed. If they are missing then try a bunch of different badges until you find one that matches the edge wear. The RCMP seems to do that but hard to tell in the photos.
