Hoping someone can help identify these two, diamond shape is made of felt sections whilst on the square one the red seems to be old tunic material.
Colours similar on both Rifle Green, Red and Buff/Cream.
Cheers

Not mine but if of interest will purchase

First one looks like Northern Rhodesia Regt cap backing if you turn it upright

For the 1st badge I thought of KayForce, NZ occupation force in Japan.

For the second, if turned on its point, maybe 1 or 2 Bn, Cambs ACF- see Waring F16 and F17

1 Bn -Diamond quartered black/yellow over blue/red
2 Bn- Diamond: light blue (left) & black with red (left) & yellow centre

Not mine but from my files. It wouldn't surprise me if the other one was Rhodesia related it looks very similar in colours.
