Hello Phil, not my main area of collecting formation signs but as far as I’m aware the second one is 6th Armoured Division, worn I think up until the late 50’s.The 3rd is 78th Infantry Division and then 11th Infantry Brigade.The last one I think is a drummers arm badge, I’m sure other more knowledgeable members will confirm.

The yellow 11 point star on a red square is likely to be North Malaya District 1957-1963. The the red and yellow sign below is possibly an arm of service strip for the Royal Armoured Corps.

May I ask if the German badge, which predates the war, was worn during the war and by who?
