Default Big Royal Devonshire and Norfolk Regiment ribbon

A couple of easy ones i guess.
1. I have this Royal Devonshire lion on a crown badge but it looks too big for a cap badge. It has 2 lugs on it, way too big for a collar so can anyone tell me what it would of been attached too. size = 6.5cm tall
2. Norfolk Regiment ribbon strip, any ideas on this? were they cut and sewn onto uniform somewhere? about 5.5cm height each picture
Any help much appreciated

No.2 is a Norfolk Girl Guide County Badge probably from the 1980's I'd say looking at the front

Ha Ha i thought it had something to do with the Norfolk regiment as it was in my grandpas collection of badges. silly me.
He died around 1983 and i can only think that he got it for my sister who was in the girl guides about that time
Thankyou for that id

The first is an NCO's arm badge of both the 1st Royal dragoons and the 15th Hussars and 15th/19th Hussars. The Kings Crown being worn post 1953 also as it is a 'Kings' Regiment.
