Mark,
The OSD bronze badge on your second scan with blades (top right) is the officers cap that was worn with the OSD collars you have below. I have what appears to be a pair of smaller size OSD collars and I assume these to be c.WWII

It appears the NCO g/m badges had smaller collar badges (both with snakes facing in the same direction as the cap. These can be seen in your first scan with the QVC set. There are also KC sets like this. RAMC NCO during WWI did not wear collar badges (photographic evidence).

With adoption of the latin scroll (IN ARDUIS FIDELIS) badges c.1950, the collars had facing snakes. Officers in silver/gilt. NCO in white metal and g/m.
Later NCO's in anodised.

I have attached pictures of my RAMC badges. I do have a few more titles in g/m and worsted cloth (black on khaki and white on khaki); various WWI g/m cap badges with sliders (must be many variations of this design); and some RAMC(V) silvered officers collars that I have not scanned yet.

Enjoy
Steven
