Default unknown shoulder titles?

Hi Gents,
Here's a few unknown shoulder titles (to me) for members to see if they can identify.
Many Thanks in advance.

No:- 2 "MW" is an un-chromed example of the shoulder title worn by the Mid-Wales Constabulary. It was positioned above the Sergeant's or Constable's number on each epaulette.

Number 4 is South African - Regt Louw Wepener (WW2 era). No 6 is possibly South African - Maritz Brothers College (cadets). No 8 is also South African. Not sure what organisation (possibly Pretoria Town Hospital) but I recall that it is a civvie one. No 12 is also civvie - South African - Natal Government Railways

I suspect quite a few of these may be South African and school cadet related.

8 = Pinetown High (school cadets)

10 = 'I' Hoer Skool Kadette ('I' High School Cadets) - see this link for similar badge https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ad.php?t=85627

Wow, thanks gents for your expertise.
These shoulder titles did come from a mainly South African collection.
so I would imagine in many instances you have correctly identified them.
Many Thanks!
