Unidentified Buttons
Hello peeps
 , its Head Scratching time again and I HAVE tried to identify them but ive hit that brick wall again, these are only the ones i couldnt work out and i would really appreciate any help that anyone can offer, thank yous all againIve number the buttons 1 to 6 I thought number 3 was the cypher for Royal Mercian and Lancaster Yeomanry but the crowns wrong ?? Number 6 has the Quis Separabit which the Irish Guards uses, but i cant find them using a shamrock Number 2 looks to have PCBC above the crest, although I cant figure out those letters so it might be something else  And number 5, could this be Indian British Army ? And number 7 is prince of wales's feathers but i cant find a reference to this one anywhere online thansk anyone who can cast some light on these xo

The PoW feathers button is the pre-1922, 14th King George's Own (Ferozepore) Sikhs. In the 1922 reorganisation they became the 5th (duke of Connaught's own) battalion 11th Sikh Regiment and the button changed, but the device was retained as a battalion head dress badge.

I have a strong suspicion that button 6 is a mess dress button for the short lived (1902-1922) South Irish Horse (previously South of Ireland Imperial Yeomanry), but I have been unable to confirm the details. The SIH title was adopted in 1908 and alone of the Southern Irish regiments it elected to lay up its colours in Dublin Cathedral, rather than Westminster, upon disbandment following the creation of the Irish Free State.

The service dress buttons were similar, but in bronze, which is what gives me the clue.
