I have no doubt these were your grandfathers and nice to see flashes that have not seen the light before.
Sometime in the 1950's, someone put together a chart of flashes worn by UDF forces mostly based on info in the UDF dress regulations, but it appears not all flashes were identified.
MT companies were identified by a dark brown flash with yellow diagonal stripe, but that may only represent one of the MT companies.
Your flash has a roman yellow 'V' which I believe represents the 5th MT Comp where you indicated your grandfather served in from his service number.
The rectangular flash would have been the helmet flash and the triangular ones may have been worn on the jacket sleeves. Photographs would confirm this.
Thanks for sharing your grandfathers insignia.
