Just,
Top left is Arab Legion although something similary was later worn by the Jordanian Army.
Top right looks very similar to badges, possibly a collar badge, of the Malay Regiment or some other from that region.
Bottom left is collar badge for Jordan Police till 1972, according to a local who has just sent me some items from there.
Bottom right is the old cap badge of the Kuwaiti Armed Forces/Army.
I'm sure that Eddie Parks will give you a more detailed reply. Nice lot.

I's agree with the button man, but I have the bottom left as Jordan border security.

Some news on the top right badge.
Look how similar the device is to the Jahore Military Forces officers' badge.
Jahore was one of the Indian Princely States which had it's own army during British rule. Although different, maybe the script is Urdu or Pushtu.
