First one is indeed a Field Marshalls shoulder rank, Im assuming it's in two pieces, the second on in my opinion is an Aide-du-Camp gilt shoulder badge worn beneath the shoulder rank of anyone that has served as ADC to the sovereign in this Queen Elizabeth.

Sorry to be pedantic but a FIELD MARSHAL (1xL) is a soldier, a FIELD MARSHALL (2xL) is a tractor.
