Depending on size, rearranged to form a diablo they could be the sign of 23 Army Tk Bde. Arranged as per attached (33 Armd Bde). Mike

Great war battalion patches perhaps?

The Canadian Forestry Corps in the UK wore a triangular dark green formation/corps sign during the Second WW. With this size, these could be for the CFC.

I failed to notice the size. Obviously not the makings of a diablo. "Do pay attention...."! Mike

The Sally Army has or had triangular green cloth badges for wear by some function or other.
Just saying, doesn't seem likely they'd be on khaki backing.

Default green triangles

hmm, OK lets see what else people suggest. The Sally Army did make me smile - just my luck, but the Canadian Forestry Corps might just be the answer as amongst the various things that came with them was a Canadian army button and a RCAC red maple leaf badge. Thank you all

Dave

Re. the Salvation Army, I googled & found this, obviously not the badge in question & I don't know what its measurements are:
