Hi
No.1 is French Infantry, No.8 MAY be Somerset Light Infantry, No.10 is London Transport, No.12 is Grenadier Guards, No.13 MAY be Royal Scots Fusiliers.

Buttons by Gwen Squire is a useful book (now out of print)

I don't know what No.10 is, but it is certainly not British Rail, which would have been a "double arrow" symbol, and it is not British Railways, which would normally have been a wheel, although I think some grades sported lion rampant buttons.
